title: Preparation of 2,6-anhydro-aldose acylhydrazones, -semicarbazones and -oximes from 2,6-anhydro-aldononitriles (glycosyl cyanides).
abstract: Reductive transformation of per-O-acylated 2,6-anhydro-aldononitriles (glycopyranosyl cyanides of the D-galacto, D-gluco, D-xylo, and D-arabino configuration) with Raney-nickel-NaH(2)PO(2) in pyridine-AcOH-water solvent mixture in the presence of benzoylhydrazine, ethyl carbazate, and semicarbazide gave the corresponding anhydro-aldose benzoylhydrazones, -ethoxycarbonylhydrazones, and -semicarbazones, respectively. Acid catalyzed transimination of the semicarbazones with thiosemicarbazide, hydroxylamine, and O-benzylhydroxylamine, resulted in the formation of anhydro-aldose thiosemicarbazones, and E/Z mixtures of anhydro-aldose oximes, and O-benzyl-(anhydro-aldose)-oximes, respectively.
