A convenient method for conversion of sugar diols (2a-2d) into a-acetoxy-aldehydes: 5-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranos-6-ulose (5a), 5-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-allofuranos-6-ulose (5b), methyl 6-O-acetyl-2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-D-glycero-α-D-gluco- and L-glycero-α-D-gluco-heptopyranosid-7-uloses (5c and 5d respectively) is presented. This involves the protection (as TBDMS ether) of the primary hydroxyl group, acetylation of the remaining secondary one and desilylation followed by a Swern oxidation. Partial migration of the acetyl group during desilylation (with Bu4NF) was observed for compound 4a and complete migration for 4f. α-Acetoxy-aldehydes 5a-5d were characterized as adducts with Ph3P = CH-CO2Me (12a-12d).
