Abstract
Electroreduction of the disulfide derivative RSSR (5, R= [bond]C(6)H(4)[bond]CO[bond]C(6)H(4)[bond]CN) on a mercury pool or a carbon gauze electrode in the presence of 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-5-thio-D-xylopyranosyl bromide (1), using a sacrificial zinc anode gave an alpha,beta anomeric mixture of [4-(4-cyanobenzoylphenyl)] 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-1,5-dithio-D-xylopyranoside (6) in 40-70% yield, according to the experimental conditions used (nature of solvent, electrolyte salt, and temperature). High selectivity favouring the alpha anomer of 6 is observed starting from the alpha anomer of 1. Mechanistic aspects are discussed.
