SYNTHESIS OF 2-DEOXY, 3-DEOXY, AND 2,3-DIDEOXY ANALOGS OF α,α-TREHALOSE BY REDUCTIVE DESULFONYLOXYLATION OF p-TOLUENESULFONATES WITH LITHIUM TRIETHYLBOROHYDRIDE

Lithium triethylborohydride reacts readily with the 2-tosylate, the 2,2'-ditosylate, the 2,3,2'-tritosylate, and the 2,3,2',3'-tetratosylate of 4,6:4',6-di-O-benzylidene-α,α-trehalose (1), to give products resulting both from O-desulfonylation and from re
