Acetone → HCID 13833585, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-O-(p-Toluenesulfonyl)-1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucose (5, 18.5 g, 36.8 mmol) was place in a 500-mL round-bottomed flask. Acetone (200 ml) and sodium iodide (18.5 g, 123 mmol) were added. The resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 20 h. The reaction proceeded gradually. The mixture was poured into 1000 ml of water, and the resulting solid was filtered with a glass filter. Recrystalization from ethanol afforded 6-deoxy-6-iodo-1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucose (compound 6) in 65% yield (11.0 g, 24.0 mmol).
