26. One difficulty often encountered by us is the purification of 2-C-(acetoxylmethyl)-glycals 3. They tend to rearrange or decompose during chromatographic purification over silica gel, sometimes resulting in poor yields. If purified very carefully, they do not have shelf-lives of more than a couple of days even at low temperatures; see also ref. 16.
27. Such a rearrangement on furanose-derived 2-C-(acetoxymethyl)- glycals has already been reported. See: a) J.Wolf, C. Monneret, R. Pontikis, J.-C. Florent, Eur. J. Org. Chem. 1998, 2417-2423;

36. Irradiation of the signal at δ = 5.10 ppm due to H-1 of 8a resulted in an enhancement of the signal due to one of the exo-methylene olefinic protons at δ = 5.28 ppm and vice versa. This confirms that that anomeric proton of 8a is in the equatorial position and that the methoxy group is in the axial position. For details of the assignment of anomeric configurations of similar compounds by NOE experiments, see: N. G. Ramesh, K. K. Balasubramanian, Tetrahedron 1995, 51, 255-272.
37. Unlike the 2-C-(acetoxymethyl)-glycals 3, all ethers 6a-g, 7a-c reported in this manuscript are relatively stable and can be stored in a refrigerator for longer times.
38. While our work was in progress, 2-C-(propargyloxymethyl)-galactal (6d) was reported by Hotha et al.; see ref. 14.
39. Alcohols 4 and 5 were each prepared in two steps from the readily available tri-O-benzyl-D-galactal and tri-O-benzyl-D-glucal, respectively, by Vilsmeier-Haack formylation followed by reduction. See: N. G. Ramesh, K. K. Balasubramanian, Tetrahedron Lett. 1991, 32, 3875-3878 and also refs. 11-14, 19.
