Methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranoside (2) is transformed in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid and 2,2,2-trichloro- or 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol into the 4-O-unprotected 1,6-anhydropyranose 4.The amount of 1,6-anhydrofuranose 5, formed as a byproduct of this reaction, can be increased by longer reaction times.Similarly, from methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-D-galactopyranoside (9) the corresponding 1,6-anhydro compounds 10 and 12 were obtained. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (31) is obtained from the 5-O-unprotected 1,6-anhydroglucofuranose 5 in a few steps.The stereoselectiveintroduction of nitrogen at C-5 is reached by inversion of the configuration of the 5-OH group through oxidation and reduction and subsequent triflate activation for the invertive azide group introduction
