Several partially benzylated mono-, di-, and trisaccharides having an anomeric hydroxyl group were successfully prepared by selective cleavage of the β-fructofuranosidic linkage in fully benzylated sucrose and sucrose-related oligosaccharides derived from lactosucrose, raffinose, melezitose, stachyose, and nystose under acidic conditions using 1:10 75% aqueous sulfuric acid-dioxane at room temperature for 1 h.
L-Sucrose and process for producing same

L-sucrose or β-L-fructofuranosyl α-L-glucopyranoside--(I), the enantiomer of naturally occuring D-sucrose, which does not appear in nature has been synthesized and has been found to be sweet. It is unlikely that L-sucrose is metabolized in the manner of D-sucrose. In a preferred process for producing L-sucrose the key step is the condensation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-L-glucopyranosyl chloride--(II) with 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-L-fructofuranose--(III). Compound II is obtained from L-glucose by way of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-L-glucopyranose; and L-glucose is prepared from L-arabinose by nitromethane synthesis. Compound III is obtained by oxidation, with Jones reagent, of 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-L-mannitol which, in turn, is prepared from L-mannose. The condensation product of II and III is catalytically debenzylated to produce L-sucrose.
