The synthesis of 1,4-anhydro-β-d-galactopyranose (1,5-anhydro-α- d-galactofuranose), a proposed intermediate in the ring contraction isomerisation catalyzed by UDP-galactopyranose mutase, together with its [2.2.2] bicyclic methylene homologue, synthesised as a possible competitive inhibitor or alternative substrate, are reported. Neither compound was found to be an inhibitor or substrate for UDP-galactopyranose mutase from Klebsiella pneumoniae.

The treatment of some monosaccharides and their derivatives with α,α-dimethoxytoluene and an acid catalyst in dimethylformamide at about 80 deg C can lead to selective benzylidenation, e.g. methyl α-D-mannopyranoside gives mainly methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-mannoside, together with two other minor monobenzylidene derivatives (2,3-) and two minor dibenzylidene derivatives (2,3:4,6-).The treatment of various other pyranoses and pyranosides is also described.As well, a 1H n.m.r. study of the acid transformation of some of the above α-D-mannosides is reported, together with a single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure determination of a novel monobenzylidene derivative, namely methyl (S)-2,3-O-benzylidene-α-D-mannopyranoside.
