Polyhydroxylated tetrahydrothiophene, tetrahydrothiopyrane and thiepane rings have been readily obtained in excellent yields (78-95%) from thioheterocyclisation of the bielectrophilic petacetylated alpha,omega -dibrominated derivatives of tetritols (erythritol (1) and D,L-threitol (4)), pentitols: (xylitol (7), ribitol (10) and D-arabinitol (14)) and hexitols (D-mannitol (17) and D-glucitol (20)), respectively. With 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetyl-1,6-dibromo-1,6-dideoxy-D-glucitol (21) as substrate, the unexpected 2,6-anhydro derivative 25 was obtained. This could be attributed to previous S-= regioselective nucleophilic attack at C-1 position followed by 1,2-transesterification and 2,6-O-heterocyclisation. The preferential attack at C-1 of the D-glucitol derivative 21 subsequently allowed a facile direct synthesis in good yields of 2,3,4,5,6-penta-O-acetyl-1-bromo-1-deoxy-D-glucitol (26), 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetyl-6-bromo-6-deoxy-1-thiobutyl-1-deoxy-D-glucitol (28) and 2,3,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl-6-bromo-6-deoxy-1-thiooctyl-1-deoxy-D-glucitol (28).
