Partial O-alkylation of 1,3:2,4-di-O-ethylidene-D-glucitol (1a), 1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-O-methyl-α-D-glucofuranose (1b), and R-(+)-1-O-benzylglycerol (1c) with benzyl chloride in a KOH/DMSO system results in products of monoalkylation at the secondary (4a-c) and at the primary hydroxyl (2a-c) in ratios of over 95:5 (a), ca. 2:1 (b), and ca. 1:1 (c), whereas (+/-)propane-1,2-diol (1d) gives only the product of 1-O-benzylation (2d).A qualitatively similar result is observed upon O-alkylation of diols (1a-e) with 2-methoxyethanol tosylate.

Simple and highly regioselective de-O-benzylations of poly-O-benzylated monosaccharides and polyols with Lewis acids (SnCl4 and TiCl4) were developed.Spectral studies on intermediates complexes showed that three appropriately situated metal chelating functional groups were necessary for the selective de-O-benzylation.
