Hydrogen peroxide oxidation of benzylidene acetals (and derivative benzyl ethers) that incorporate a siletane ring at the para position creates a deprotection pathway without affecting other important chemical properties of the benzylidene acetal, such as
Synthesis, Photochemistry and Enzymology of 2-O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-D-glucose, a Photolabile Derivative of D-Glucose

Alkylation of the dibutylstannylene derivative of methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-glucopyranose 2a with 2-nitrobenzyl bromide gave a mixture of 2-O- and 3-O-(2-nitrobenzyl) derivatives 3b and 4 b in the ratio ca.3:1.Chromatographic separation and removal of the protecting groups gave the title compound 1.Regiospecific synthesis by 2-nitrobenzylation of the monoalcohol 8a was examined but could not be achieved efficiently.Compound 1 was neither a substrate for nor an inhibitor of coupled hexokinase/glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme system.On photolysis, it was converted into free glucose with 1:1 stoichiometry.
