The dehydrative cyclization of diols to cyclic ethers via cyclopropenium activation is described. Using 2,3-diphenylcyclopropene and methanesulfonic anhydride, a series of 1,4-and 1,5-diols are rapidly cyclized to furnish tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans in high yield. Eleven total substrates are shown, including a gram scale cyclization of a diterpene derivative.

A direct selective protection (O-benzylation) of two or more hydroxyl groups in polyols displaying diverse structural patterns was made possible by the establishment of conditions that enable an efficient turnover for the Bu2Sn group, initially
L-Sucrose and process for producing same

, (2008/06/13)
L-sucrose or β-L-fructofuranosyl α-L-glucopyranoside--(I), the enantiomer of naturally occuring D-sucrose, which does not appear in nature has been synthesized and has been found to be sweet. It is unlikely that L-sucrose is metabolized in the manner of D-sucrose. In a preferred process for producing L-sucrose the key step is the condensation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-L-glucopyranosyl chloride--(II) with 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-L-fructofuranose--(III). Compound II is obtained from L-glucose by way of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-L-glucopyranose; and L-glucose is prepared from L-arabinose by nitromethane synthesis. Compound III is obtained by oxidation, with Jones reagent, of 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-L-mannitol which, in turn, is prepared from L-mannose. The condensation product of II and III is catalytically debenzylated to produce L-sucrose.
