AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explores a specific chemical reaction involving carbocations derived from carbohydrate-based alcohols, leading to a rearrangement process known as the Prins pinacol type reaction.
  • This reaction enables the formation of complex structures, specifically tetrahydrofuran-fused bridged bicyclic ketals and 1,6-anhydro-heptopyranoses.
  • These structures can be subsequently transformed into various complex sugars and C2-branched heptoses, highlighting their potential utility in organic synthesis.

Article Abstract

A "Prins pinacol type rearrangement followed by C4-OBn participation" in a cascade manner has been observed while probing the fate of carbocation in some carbohydrate derived homoallylic alcohols in the Prins reaction. This has led to an easy access to tetrahydrofuran-fused bridged bicyclic ketals (or tetrahydrofuran-fused 1,6-anhydro-heptopyranose frameworks) which are further converted into some annulated sugars and C2-branched heptoses.
