Transformation of terminal diols of cyclic and acyclic saccharides to epoxides and alkenes by reaction with triphenylphosphine, imidazole and iodine

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/07328300008544145

Reaction of various terminal diols 1,4,6,8-12, derived from cyclic and acyclic monosaccharides, with 2 mol equivalents each of TPP-imidazole-I₂ between -8 °C and 15 °C in THF afforded the corresponding epoxides 2,5,7,13-17, respectively, with 4
