Abstract

The first use of molecular sieves (MS) 5A as an acidic reagent is described. We observed the acidic property during a dehydration reaction of 2-methyl-4-phenyl-3-butyn-2-ol. The acidity was sufficient to introduce ethoxyethyl and methoxyisopropyl protecting groups into alcohols. Additionally, the employment of MS 5A improved the synthesis of 1, 2, 4- orthoacetyl-α-d-glucopyranose at the intramolecular transorthoesterification step. In the ...
