Abstract

An improved procedure for the preparation of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-β-d-fructofuranose and its 6-pyruvoylation is described. Photolysis of this ester in benzene furnished 5,6-O-isopropylidene-β-d-lyxo-5-ulofuranose, characterised as the O-methyloxime diacetate. Similary, photochemical oxidation of 1 1,2-O-isopropylidene-6-O-pyruvoyl-α-d-glucofuranose gave 1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-d-lgluco-hexodialo1,4:6,3-difuranose in excellent yield.
