title: Direct syntheses of S-alkylthio-D-galactono-, D-mannono-1,4-lactones, S-alkylthio-L-galactitols and D-mannitols displaying amphiphilic and mesophasic properties.
abstract: Alkylthio-L-galactitols and D-mannitols were obtained in good yields (70-81%) by reduction, with NaBH4, of the corresponding 6-S-alkyl-6-thio-D-hexono-1,4-lactones.
