Procedure
Analogously, as described in the synthesis of title compound Aa), the reaction of 100 g (555.0 mmol) of α-D-glucopyranose with a mixture of 1000 ml of absolute pyridine and 1000 ml of acetic acid anhydride after working-up and recrystallization from 95% aqueous ethanol yields 190.6 g (88.0%) of the above-mentioned title compound as a colorless and crystalline compound. By 1H-NMR-spectroscopic study of the title compound that is thus obtained, it was possible to determine the α to β-ratio of two possible anomers with ≧98:2. Accordingly, the title compound is the exclusively α-configured anomer.
