Abstract
The synthesis of a novel dideoxydifluorinated fluorosugar is described starting from levoglucosan. The fluorine atoms were introduced sequentially through 3,4-epoxide opening and retentive 3-OH deoxofluorination. This latter process was accompanied by a rearrangement process involving the 2-OBn group, which is consistent with previous results of Karban et. al. (Beilst. J. Org. Chem. 2016, 12, 750), who observed a similar rearrangement involving a 2-azido group.
