Improved preparation of 1,6-anhydro-4-deoxy-2-O-p-toluenesulphonyl-β-D-xylo-hexopyranose and of its D-[4-2H]gluco-analogue from 1,6:3,4-dianhydro-2-O-p-toluenesulphonyl-β-D-galactopyranose

Presented is an alternative method in preparation of 4-deoxyhexoses and derivatives. This involves the hydrogenolysis of 1,6-anhydro-4- deoxy-4-iodo-2-O-p- toluenesulphonyl-β-D- glucopyranose. The present method is very convenient for the preparation of d
