Abstract
2,3:4,6-Di-O-isopropylidene-D-glucopyranose and -D-galactopyranose acetals are conveniently prepared by hydrogenolysis of benzyl 2,3:4,6-di-O-isopropy lidene-beta-D-glucopyranose and -beta-D-galactopyranose in almost quantitat ive yields in 3 h. This result is in contrast with the sluggish reaction ob served (48 h) when the hydrogenolysis was carried out on either anomeric al pha,beta mixtures or on the corresponding a anomers.
