Selective dimolar benzoylation of methyl 6-deoxy-α- and β-D-glucopyranosides yielded the 2,3-di-O-benzoate of the respective glucopyranoside as the major product in 61 and 29% yields. The orders of the reactivity of the secondary hydroxyl groups in α- and β-anomers were different, i.e., the order was 2-OH > 3-OH > 4-OH for the former and 3-OH > 2-OH > 4-OH for the latter.

A novel reagent system is described for the efficient, one-step transformation of hydroxyl groups in carbohydrates to bromodeoxy groups. The reaction proceeds with inversion of configuration. The reagent system consists of triphenylphosphine, tribromoimidazole, and imidazole in toluene at elevated temperature. The carbohydrate need not be soluble in toluene. The examples given include substitution of isolated primary and secondary hydroxyl groups in otherwise protected carbohydrates as well as disubstitution involving one primary and one secondary position in hexopyranosides. High yields are obtained in the replacement of hydroxyl by bromine in the 2-position of 3,4,6-protected methyl α-D-gluco- and -mannopyranosides.

Using the conventional Williamson ether synthesis, n-butyl ether was prepared from sodium hydroxide, n-butyl alcohol, and n-butyl chloride using excess of the alcohol as solvent in 61% yield after 14 h reaction time. However, when the excess alcohol was replaced by dimethyl sulfoxide, the yield of ether rose to 95% with 9.5 h reaction time. Other primary alkyl chlorides exhibited similar behavior to n-butyl chloride, but secondary alkyl chlorides and primary alkyl bromides gave little etherification, elimination being the major reaction. Unreactive halides, such as vinyl chloride, phenyl bromide, and 2,4-dinitrobromobenzene, were not etherified in dimethyl sulfoxide. The reaction products obtained from aliphatic dichlorides depended upon the relative positions of the chlorine atoms. Secondary alcohols reacted to give ethers, but tertiary alcohols were very unreactive. Polyols generally gave high yields of ethers, the major product being that in which all but one of the hydroxyl groups became etherified. Under forcing conditions, however, completely etherified polyols could be obtained.

Cotton linters alternately wetted at 0° or 25° and dried show progressively greater ease of nitration paralleling the number of wetting–drying cycles. The reverse is found to be true for linters wetted at 50°, 75°, or 100°. Analysis of the data obtained from lead tetraacetate oxidation of the nitrates favors the depressive concept of nitration and indicates that the observed changes in reactivity occasioned by the wetting–drying treatments are largely due to greater alterations in the accessibility of the primary rather than the secondary hydroxyl groups.
