✦ Synopsis


New simple routes to the title epoxide, using carbonate esters of methyl 4,6-O-benzyiidenea-D-glucopyranoside, are described. Some mechanistic aspects of the reactions are discussed.

Sugar epoxides (oxiranes) are of considerable practical importance'-4. They are usually prepared from sulfonic esters, with unsubstituted or esterified vicinal hydroxyl groups, by treatment with alkali. Methanesulfonic or toluene-p-sulfonic esters are co~on~y employed. Nitric esters behave similarly but are preparatively unattractive. The mechanism and stereochemistry of this process has been discussed comprehensively 3*4.

Alternative syntheses of limited application include treatment of deoxyhalo sugars with alkali3y4, nitrous acid deamination of amino sugars3T4, the treatment of certain diols with t~phenylphosph~e~diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD15, the reaction of unsaturated derivatives with peroxy acids or hydrogen peroxide3", and the treatment of some c&-diols with Viehe's salt6.

The chemistry of sugar oxiranes has been reviewed1*2*4. An efficient alternative synthesis of the anhydro-alloside derivative 1 resulted during recent attempts to prepare the cyclic carbonate 2 from the glue&de 3, by base-catalysed ester-exchange with diethyl carbonate. Details of this study and some associated aspects are reported.
