Abstract

Abstract Highly regioselective monoalkylations of the cis-2, 3-diol group in mannopyranosides can be achieved with diaryldiazoalkanes in the presence of catalytic amounts of tin (II) chloride. With diazo (diphenyl) methane (1), its 4, 4′-dimethyl (2) and 4, 4′-dichloro (3) derivatives, and 9-diazofluorene (5), methyl 4, 6-O-benzylidene-α-d- mannopyranoside gave high yields of the respective 3-diarylmethyl ethers. By contrast, ...
