Yf. Wang et al., 1,1,3,3-TETRAISOPROPYLDISILOXANE-1,3-DIYL (TIPS) MIGRATION FACILITATES ONE-POT FORMATION OF ENANTIOMERICALLY PURE METHYL 2,3-EPOXY-D-XYLONATE, Carbohydrate research, 307(1-2), 1998, pp. 159-162
The reaction of 3,5-O-(1,1,3,3-tetraisopropyldisiloxane- 1,3-diyl)-2-O
-trifluoromethanesulfonyl- D-lyxono-1,4-lactone with K2CO3 in dry meth
anol at -10 degrees C gave enantiomerically pure methyl ,3,3-tetraisop
ropyldisiloxane-1,3-diyl)-D-xylonate as the single product, resulting
from migration of the TIPS group in an alkoxide intermediate. (C) 1998
