47. [2t]) that the primary alkoxy radicals derived from carbohydrates in the furanose form gave a mixture of fragmentation and intramolecular hydrogen abstraction (IHA). By controlling the reaction conditions, the stereochemistry of the substituents and the protecting groups, the β-fragmentation was made to predominate over the side reactions. In contrast, the substrates described in this article gave scission as the sole reaction.

105. a) Since both the old and the new batches were purchased from the same company, the different reaction results suggested that the old reagent isomerized prior to use. The isomerization of disubstituted olefins to trisubstituted alkenes is favored on thermodynamic grounds, and small amounts of acid can catalyze the process. Since chlorinated reagents release HCl with time, the isomerization could easily take place. See also: Shell Devel. Co. Patent US2042223 (1934);
