Abstract

6-Bromo-6-deoxy-1, 4-aldonolactones and 6-bromo-6-deoxy-alditols with D-galacto-, D-altro- , D-manno-and D-ido-configuration were selectively converted into hydroxylated tetrahydrofuran derivatives by simple heating in water. The 6-bromo-6-deoxy-D-altritol (10) and 6-bromo-6-deoxy-D-iditol (25) reacted even at room temperature. Likewise, the 6-bromo- 2, 6-dideoxy-aldonolactones with D-arabino-(29) and D-lyxo-configuration (31) gave the ...
