Treatment of the 1,5-dimesylate and 1,5-ditosylate of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucitol 1 with tetrabutylammonium acetate in acetonitrile leads, through nucleophilic attack by O-2 at C-5 and normal displacement at C-1, to 1-O-acetyl-2,5-anhydro-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-L-iditol. In contrast, the corresponding 1,5-ditriflate on similar treatment undergoes displacement at C-1 by attack of O-4 and elimination of triflic acid between C-4 and C-5 to afford (3R,4S)-3,4-dibenzyloxy-2-(2-benzyloxyethylidene)tetrahydrofuran.
