Benzylidene derivatives of mannitol

Abstract

Further work is reported on the known 1,3(R):4,6(R)-di-O- and 1,3(R):2,5:4,6(R)-tri-O-benzylidene derivatives of D-mannitol. New 1,3(R)-mono-O-,1,2(R):4,6(R)-di-O-, 1,2(S):4,6(R)-di-O-, 1,2(R):5,6(R)-di-O-, 1,2(S):5,6(S)-di-O-, 1,2(S):5,6(R)-di-O-and 1,3(R):2,5(S)-di-O-benzylidene derivatives are reported.
