1-O-Acetyl-3-deoxy-2,4,6-tri-O-methyl-α-D-erythro-hex-2-enopyranose (1) reacts with m-chloroperbenzoic acid to give a novel perester, which has been assigned the structure 1,2-O-(1′-m-chloroperbenzoyl-oxyethylidene)-2-methoxy-4,6-di-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranose (2), on the basis of spectral data and chemical degradation. The perester 2 and the derived acetate 3 undergo oxidative degradation on treatment with trifluoroacetic acid to give 3,5-di-O-methyl- (4) and 2-O-acetyl-3,5-di-O-methyl-D-arabinonolactone (5), respectively. Reductive decomposition of the acetylated perester 3 yields 1,3-di-O-acetyl-4,6-di-O-methyl-α-D-arabino-hexopyranosulose (6), which, on treatment with acetic anhydride in pyridine, gives successively 1,2,3-tri-O-acetyl-4,6-di-O-methyl-α-D-erythro-hex-2-enopyranose (7), 2-O-acetyl-1-deoxy-4,6-di-O-methyl-α-D-erythro-hex-1-enopyranose-3-ulose (8), and 5-acetoxy-2-(methoxy-methyl)-4H-pyran-4-one (9).

1,6-Anhydro-4-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-isothiocyanato-β-D-glucopyranose (IV), prepared from 2-amino-1,6-anhydro-4-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (I) by reaction with carbon disulfide followed by oxidation with iodine, was converted into the 3-O-p-toluenesulfonate VII. This was cyclized to give either the 2,3-epimino derivative X or the thiazoline XII. 2-Acetamido-3-S-acetyl-1,6-anhydro-4-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-3-thio-β-D-glucopyranose (XVI), obtained from compound XII, was desulfurized with Raney nickel to afford 2-acetamido-1,6-anhydro-2,3-dideoxy-β-D-ribo-hexopyranose (XVII). The isothiocyanato group was not affected upon acetylation of compound IV and acetolysis of the 1,6-anhydride bond with acetic anhydride and trifluoroacetic acid.

A number of sulfoxides derived from 3-benzylthiopropionic acid, S-benzylcysteine, and S-phenylcystelne have been synthesized and exposed to typical Pummerer reaction conditions. Cyclization of the S-benzyl sulfoxides to six-membered or seven-membered heterocyclic rings (1,3-thiazin-4-ones and 1,3,6-oxathiazepines) is observed only in acetic anhydride solvent and only after conversion of the carboxyl group to an amide or peptide. Cyclization of S-phenylcysteinyl amides to β-lactams could not be achieved. The thiazolidine isomers of the six- and seven-membered rings have been synthesized and found not to be intermediates in the acetic anhydride reactions. The thiazolidines do rearrange to the six- and (or) seven-membered rings in anhydrous trifluoroacetic acid solvent. S-Benzylphthalimidocysteinylglycine sulfoxide, a 3:2 mixture of epimers at sulfur, affords a 3:2 mixture of isomeric thiazinones. A mechanism for these cyclizations is proposed, and it is suggested that the configuration at sulfur controls the configuration at the new asymmetric centre in the product.

Nitration of 4-ethyltoluene in acetic anhydride at -20° gives the diastereoisomers of 1-ethyl-4-methyl-4-nitrocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl acetate and of 4-ethyl-1-methyl-4-nitrocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl acetate. Similar nitration of 1,4-diethylbenzene gives the diastereoisomers of 1,4-diethyl-4-nitro-cyclohexa-2,5-dienyl acetate. Rearomatization of the adducts of p-ethyltoluene in trifluoroacetic acid-trifluoroacetic anhydride gives 4-ethyl-2-nitrotoluene from the 1-ethyl-4-methyl-4- nitro isomers and 4-ethyl-3-nitrotoluene from the 4-ethyl-1-methyl-4-nitro isomers. In aqueous methanol 2-ethyl- 5-methylphenyl acetate is obtained from the 1-ethyl-4-methyl-4-nitro isomers and 5-ethyl-2- methyl-phenyl acetate from the 4-ethyl-1-methyl-4-nitro isomers.
