Intramolecular reactions of several methyl 3-O-triflylpyranosides of gluco, manno, galacto, and arabino (2-deoxy-gluco) configuration are studied. Triflates 1b-6b, of gluco, manno, and 8-deoxy-gluco configuration, give rise to ring-contraction products (branched-chain furanosides) 12, 15, 16, 17, 19, and 20, respectively. Triflates 7b and 10b of galacto configuration give the fragmentation products 21 and 23, whereas the 2-deoxy-galacto derivative 8b leads to ring-contraction product 20, which shows the decisive influence of the configuration at position 4 and the presence of a 2-alkoxy group on the reaction process. When the results from 4,6-O-benzylidene derivatives (1b-8b) and 4,6-di-O-benzyl derivatives (91b-11b) are compared, it turns out that the presence of a 4,6-O-benzylidene protecting group favors the formation of ring-contraction products. The use of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) as the solvent and pyridine or 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylpyridine as the base allowed us to obtain good to excellent yields of ring-contraction or fragmentation products.
