Recently we described [3] the transformation of the cyano group of several 1cyanoglycals [1,2] into various heterocycles in order to test them as glycosidase inhibitors. 1-Cyano-D-galactal triacetate (1) was also used by Banaszek for the synthesis
Acetylated 1-cyano and 1-cyano-2-hydroxy derivatives of d-galactal and d-arabinal

✦ Synopsis
Glycals and 2-hydroxyglycals' are useful compounds because of their versatile reactivity, and l-nitro-2, l-sulfonyl-3, l-formyl-, and l-hydroxymethyl-glycals4 have been described.
In seeking to prepare 1-cyanoglycals, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-l-bromo-Dgalactopyranosyl cyanide (1) and its D-arabino analogue5 (5) were each treated with zinc dust in acetic acid. The glycosyl cyanides 2 and 6 and their C-l epimers, respectively, were isolated subsequently by crystallization from ethanoF, but the yields were poor. 'H-N.m.r spectroscopy of the reaction mixtures revealed the presence of the expected 1-cyanoglycals in addition to the glycosyl cyanides, and the ratios of the elimination products and the a! and /3 anomers were 21: 59:20 from 1 and 55: 25 :20 from 5. Chromatography of the components of these mixtures was not efficient because of the similar R, values,
