The synthesis of 5,6-O-isopropylidene-1,2-O-(R)-trichloroethylidene-α-D-glucofuranose (compound1) and 5,6-O-isopropylidene-1,2-O-(R)-trichloroethylidene-3-O-(2′,3′-epoxypropan-1′-yl)-α-D-glucofuranose (compound2) was carried out. The synthesized compounds1and2were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The FTIR and1H NMR spectra showed that the epoxy group in compound2was attached by means of a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The activation energies for thermal degradation of compounds1and2were calculated from their TG data by using the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) and Tang methods.
