Dehydration of D-lyxo-hexulose phenylosazone or D-xylo-hexulose phenylosazone afforded 3,6-anhydro-D-lyxo-hexulose phenylosazone (2) as the preponderant isomer from both.The identity of 2 was obtained by acetylation, and comparison of the products.Acetylation with acetic anhydride-pyridine afforded the same di-O-acetyl derivative, and further acetylation afforded the same N-acetyldi-O-acetyl derivative (5).Refluxing 2 with copper sulfate afforded a C-nucleoside analog, namely, 2-phenyl-4-α-D-threofuranosyl-1,2,3-osotriazole (6).The anomeric configuratin of 2, 5, and 6 was determined by n.m.r. spectroscopy.The mechanism of the dehydrative cyclization-process, and the conformational stability of 2, are discussed.
