A new electrochemical method of acetylation, using methyl acetate at room temperature, was developed.The current efficiency in all the reactions with primary alcohols exceeded 100 percent, ranging from 126 to 166 percent indicating that this method of acetylation is advantageous for the preparation of acetates from the viewpoint of energy economy.Keywords--acetic acid methyl ester; acetylation; alcoholysis; electrochemical reduction; transesterification; alcoholate anion

L-Glucose has been synthesized from D-glucose by a convenient method involving methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-gulofuranosiduronic acid (6) as a key intermediate.Compound 6 was converted into L-glucono-1,5-lactone (8), which, by a selective reduction, afforded L-glucose (9).
