Resumo6-Deoxy-3-O-methyl-6-nitro-d-allose (5) and -l-talose (6) were synthesized from 1,2-O-isopropylidene-3O-methyl-α-d-allofuranose (1) by the nitromethane method via their furanoid, 1,2-O-isopropylidene derivatives (2 and 3). The barium hydroxide-catalyzed cyclization of the free nitrohexoses (5 and 6) was investigated. Under conditions favoring kinetic control (pH ∼8, 0°), 5 gave mainly 1d-5-deoxy-2-O-methyl-5-nitro-allo-inositol (7), with the 1l-epi-1 (8) and epi-6 (9) stereoisomers as minor products. Compound 6 afforded a high yield of the myo-5-isomer (11); the 1l-allo-5 (13) and 1d-epi-1 (14) isomers were formed in small proportions but not isolated. The thermodynamically controlled, mutual interconversion of the stereoisomeric products was studied, as was the formation of nitronate salts and the regeneration of free nitroinositols. Upon immediate acidification, the nitronate obtained from 11 gave 11 and the neo-2 epimer (12) in a ratio of 2:3. The nitronate produced by 7 underwent rapid β-epimerization. The five isolated deoxynitroinositol monomethyl ethers were further characterized as tetra-acetates (7a, 9a, 11a, and 12a) and isopropylidene derivatives (7b, 8b, and 9b).
