In the present work, the synthesis of acetylated salicins, which occur naturally in many Salicaceae species, is reported. The preparation of 2-O-acetylsalicin, 2-O-acetylchlorosalicin, and 2-O-acetylethylsalicin from peracetylated bromosalicin with selective acid-catalyzed deacetylation and one-pot nucleophilic substitution of bromine as the key steps is described. The base-catalyzed O-2 → O-6 acetyl migration afforded 6-O-acetylsalicin derivatives in good yields. Thus, the first synthesis of 6-O-acetylsalicin (fragilin) using acetyl group migration is reported as well as the synthesis of 6-O-acetylchlorosalicin and 6-O-acetylethylsalicin. The NaOMe-catalyzed deacetylation of acetylated glycosides gave salicin, chlorosalicin, and ethylsalicin recently reported from Alangium chinense.
