title: Authentic standards for the reductive-cleavage method. The positional isomers of partially methylated and acetylated or benzoylated 1,5-anhydro-D-fucitol.
abstract: Described herein is an efficient method for the synthesis of the eight positional isomers of methylated and acetylated or benzoylated 1,5-anhydro-D-fucitol. The compounds are generated simultaneously by partial methylation of 1,5-anhydro-D-fucitol and subsequent benzoylation, and the individual isomers are obtained in pure form by high-performance liquid chromatography. Debenzoylation of the latter and acetylation yielded the desired acetates. Reported herein are the 1H NMR spectra of the benzoates and the electron-ionization mass spectra of the acetates and the tri-O-methyl derivative. Also reported for the acetates and the tri-O-methyl derivative are their linear temperature programmed gas-liquid chromatography retention indices on three different capillary columns.
