Abstract
Addition of nitromethane to D-xylose leads to the formation of two epi meric deoxynitroalditols, namely 1-deoxy-1-nitro-D-iditol and 6-deoxy- 6-nitro-L-glucitol. Conversion of the former, obtainable in good yield by direct crystallisation, by a modified Nef reaction in an argon atm osphere afforded 68% of D-idose, which may readily be converted into 1 ,6-anhydro-beta-D-idopyranose (''D-idosan'').
