Abstract

Epoxide or pseudo-epoxide migration of 1,6:2,3-dianhydro- and 1,6:3,4-dianhydro-β-D-hexopyranoses was effected by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide or sodium iodide in acetone to give equilibrium mixtures. Various iodo derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-hexopyranoses were prepared as potential intermediates for pseudo-epoxide migration. NMR was used for following the reaction mechanism of epoxide and pseudo-epoxide migrations and analysis of reaction mixtures. Experimental data were compared with DFT calculations. Chair-boat equilibration of 1,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-3-halo-β-D-glucopyranoses was discussed.
