Abstract: | Dinitrogen tetraoxide was used to convert 2-acetamido-1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (1) in high yield into the syrupy N-nitroso derivative 2, and benzyl 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (6) into the crystalline N-nitroso analog 7. The N-nitroso derivative 2 in acetonitrile underwent photolysis by pyrex-filtered, u.v. light to regenerate the starting acetamide 1 in high yield; spontaneous decomposition of 2 afforded β-D-glucopyranose pentaacetate (3) and other products. In ethereal solution, compound 2 reacted with potassium hydroxide in isopropyl alcohol with loss of the 2-substituent and C-1, to give a C5 acetylene, 1,2-dideoxy-D-erythro-pent-1-ynitol, isolated in high yield as its triacetate 4 and characterized by conversion into the known, crystalline 1,2-dideoxy-3-O-(3,5- dinitrobenzoyl)-4,5-O-isopropylidene-D-erythro-pent-1-ynitol (5). |
