Buchanan

The most important pioneer of women in pharmacy, Margaret Elizabeth Buchanan,60 bom in 1864, was educated at NLCS. Her father was a medical doctor and she began her pharmaceutical training with him, and then later with Clarke and Kerr. She qualified in 1887 and passed the Major a year later, obtaining second place in the Periera competition. 

Buchanan was the first woman to be elected to the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society. It was no accident, but 

Perhaps fired by the opposition to the nomination, the Progressive Pharmaceutical Club members threw all of their efforts into the campaign  

The C D. [Chemist and Druggist] helped us magnificently and for successive nights we addressed envelopes, wrote postcards, sent circulars for Margaret E. Buchanan, the woman progressive pharmacist for the Pharmaceutical Council.. ..

The benzylidene derivative above is used, if both hydroxyl groups on C-2 and C-3 are needed in synthesis. This r/vzns-2,3-diol can be converted to the sterically more hindered a-cpoxide by tosylation of both hydroxy groups and subsequent treatment with base (N.R. Williams, 1970 J.G. Buchanan, 1976). An oxide anion is formed and displaces the sulfonyloxy group by a rearside attack. The oxirane may then be re-opened with nucleophiles, e.g. methyl lithium, and the less hindered carbon atom will react selectively. In the following sequence starting with an a-glucoside only the 2-methyl-2-deoxyaltrose is obtained (S. Hanessian, 1977).
