1,2-Dideoxyalditols, the corresponding 1-alkenes, and 1-deoxyalditols are formed in various proportions from D-glucose, D-mannose, L-arabinose, and D-xylose by the action of refluxing hydrazine.Sequential hydrazinolysis, catalytic hydrogenation, and chromatography afford a route to 1,2-dideoxyalditols.For example, 1,2-dideoxy-L-erythro-pentitol is formed from L-arabinose in 42percent yield, and D-xylose is a source of 1,2-dideoxy-D-threo-pentitol (50percent).Under the conditions (anhydrous hydrazine at 100 deg C for 30 h in the absence of air) used Montreuil for the hydrazinolysis of glycoproteins and glycopeptides, no 1,2-dideoxialditol was formed; degradation was incomplete, there being some aldose hydrazone present.Under Kochetkov's hydrazinolysis conditions (105 deg C for 10 h with hydrazinium sulphate), less degradation occured and product from D-galactose was identified as 1-deoxy-D-tagatose hydrazone.
