The work described deals with the isolation and characterization of epoxides from 6-deoxyhex-5-enopyranosides and preliminary exploration of their synthetic potential. Prolonged epoxidation reaction times led to their hydrolysis in situ and gave novel protected D-hexos-5-ulose derivatives (sugar 1,5-dicarbonyls). Some reactions of the hexos-5-uloses were studied, and in some cases septanoside (seven-membered-ring saccharide) derivatives were isolated. Novel routes to D-xylohexos-5-ulose and D-lyxo-hexos-5-ulose, of interest as intermediates in the synthesis and biosynthesis of inositols and aza sugars, are also described. The structures of the epoxides and novel hexos-5-uloses were established by NMR and X-ray crystallographic methods.

The synthesis and radical reduction of thiocarbonyl derivatives of methyl 3,6-anhydro pyranosides has been studied in the α-D-gluco, α-D-manno and β-D-galacto series. A cyclic intermediate is proposed to explain the fact that bis-deoxygenation only occurr
