Authentic standards for the reductive-cleavage method. The positional isomers of partially methylated and acetylated or benzoylated 1,5-anhydroribitol.
The eight positional isomers of methylated and benzoylated 1,5-anhydroribitol were generated simultaneously from 1,5-anhydroribitol by sequential partial methylation and benzoylation, and the four meso isomers and two enantiomeric pairs of isomers so-formed were isolated in chemically pure form by high-performance liquid chromatography. The corresponding acetates were obtained by debenzoylation of the pure isomers and acetylation. 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.
