1,3-Dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBDMH) has been used to oxidize stannyle
ne derivatives of monosaccharides to give hydroxy-ketones thereof. Oxidatio
ns could be performed rapidly and in good-to-excellent yields. The oxidizin
g reagent DBDMH thus provides a convenient alternative to existing methods.
