It is confirmed that tri- O -acetyl- d -glucal with thiophenol in the presence of BF 3 ·OEt 2 as catalyst gives the allylically rearranged S -phenyl 4,6-di- O -acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-1-thio-α- and β- d - erythro -hex-2-enopyranosides as the main products, and now demonstrated that the presence of catalytic proportions of water diverts the reaction in favour of the isomeric S -phenyl 4,6-di- O -acetyl-2-deoxy-3-phenylthio-1-thio- d - arabino - and - d - ribo -hexopyranosides. It is proposed that these products are formed from an intermediate enal. |
