Starting 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-6-O-tosyl-β-D-glucopyranose (3) was converted into 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-1-thio-6-O-tosyl-β-D-glucopyranose (6) via intermediate glycosyl bromide 4 and S-thiouronium salt 5. Treatment of compound 6 with sodium methoxide gave 1,6-anhydro-1-thio-β-D-glucopyranose (thiolevoglucosan 2a). The isomeric sulfoxides 7 and 8 were prepared by selective oxidation of thiolevoglucosan 2a with hydrogen peroxide or 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. The structure of new compounds was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy or by X-ray analysis; magnetic anisotropy of the sulfinyl and sulfonyl group has been discussed.
Method of preparing levoglucosenone

, (2008/06/13)
Levoglucosenone is prepared by reaction sequence using 1,6-anhydro-β-D-galactopyranose as a starting material. First, the starting material is reacted with ortho formate, obtaining an ortho ester of said starting material. Then, the ortho ester is placed under the conditions for a reductive elimination reaction of the ortho formate part of said ortho ester, thereby converting said ortho ester to a 1,6-anhydro-3,4-dideoxy derivative. The dideoxy derivative is placed under the conditions for oxidation of the hydroxy group of said dideoxy derivative, thereby forming levoglucosenone.

Levoglucosenone was synthesized from D-galactose via reductive decarboxylation as a key reaction.Among the catalysts used for the key reaction, hydrous zirconium oxide was found to have the best activity.
