Chlorodeoxy sugars procedures

J. K. N. Jones and his colleagues have extensively studied the reaction of sulfuryl chloride with carbohydrates.21-29 This work has elucidated the stereochemical principles involved in the various transformations, and has made available a convenient and effective procedure for the preparation of chlorodeoxy sugars. Several examples of the utility of such derivatives, obtained by way of a reaction with sulfuryl chloride, in the synthesis of other rare sugars are discussed in Section III (see p. 281). In the present Section, the studies on the reaction itself are surveyed. 

In Section 11.8 a discussion of the reaction of sulfuryl chloride with carbohydrate derivatives is presented, and in Section III are given some experimental procedures representative of this method for the synthesis of chlorodeoxy sugars and procedures of simple processes for the conversion of the chlorodeoxy sugars into other rare sugars.
