The synthesis of 2,5-anhydro-d-glucitol is described via intramolecular cyclization of diepoxide using ammonium formate in MeOH by a microwave-assisted reaction. The overall yield was 32% from d-mannitol derivative involving seven steps.

Stereoselective chain-extension of carbohydrate aldehydes with the hydroxymethylating reagent (dimethylphenylsilyl)methylmagnesium chloride (1) followed by acid-mediated cyclization gives access to 2,5-anhydro-hexitols. The stereoselectivity of the ring closure depends on the nature of the acid, i.e., treatment with excess BF3·Et2O or catalytic H2SO4 leads to tetrahydrofurans with 2,3-cis or 2,3-trans configuration, respectively. Concomitant elimination is effectively suppressed in case of cyclisation of the more sterically hindered isopropyl substituted silanes.
