Abstract

A complete series of 2,3,4-trideoxy-2,3-epimino and 2,3,4-trideoxy-3,4-epimino derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-hexopyranoses were prepared by lithium aluminium hydride reduction of vicinal trans azido tosylates. Unusual formation of the aziridine ring from precursors with the trans-diequatorial arrangement of the reacting groups was observed. NMR and infrared spectra of the aziridines are discussed.
