The preparation of 3,5-(E)-dieno-3,5,6,8-tetradeoxy-(S)-1,2-O-trichloroethylidene-α -D-glycero-octo-1,4-furano-7-ulose starting from either 1,2-O-(S)-trichloroethylidene-α-D-glucofuranose (β-chloralose) or 1,2-O-(S)-trichloroethylidene-α-D-galactofuranose (galactochloralose) and the preparation of methyl 3,5-(E)-dieno-3,5,6-trideoxy-(S)-1,2-O-trichloroethylidene-α -D-glycero-hepta-1,4-furano-uronate starting from β-chloralose are described. Endocyclic double bond formations were realised by the elimination of 3-acetoxy groups using DMF-sodium bicarbonate. This elimination was not successful when the starting compound was 1,2-O-(R)-trichloroethylidene-α -D-glucofuranose (α-chloralose), where the trichloromethyl group occupies the endo position. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
