Abstract
The polymerization of 1,2‐anhydro‐3,4,6‐tri‐O‐benzyl‐β‐D‐mannopyranose proceeds in the presence of Lewis acids, cationic coordination catalysts, and strong bases. Debenzylation of the products yields oligomeric saccharides or low polymers. Polymerization in toluene by means of potassium alkoxide complexed with crown ethers leads to essentially stereoregular (1 → 2)‐α‐D‐mannopyranan. The original derivatives have been characterized by optical rotation, viscosity, molecular weight, gel permeation chromatography, and spectrometry. The free polysaccharides have been characterized by optical rotation, molecular weight, and ^1^H‐ and ^13^C‐nmr spectrometry and compared to yeast mannan hydrolysate oligomers.

Poly-u-( 1 + 6)-anhydro-~-glucopyrariose has been synthesized by the phosphoriis pentaflnoride-catalyzed polymerization of 1,&-anhydro-2,3,4-tri-O-benzyI-~-~-gl~icopyranose and subsequent debenzylation. Physical characterization establishes its high polymeric character and stereoregdarity.
