Abstract

6,6'-Dichloro-6,6'-dideoxysucrose is obtained directly in high yield by reacting sucrose with methanesulphonyl chloride in N,N-dimethylformamide. 1',6,6'-Trichloro-1',6,6'-trideoxysucrose is obtained as a by-product and its formation can be suppressed by starting the reaction at -40.degree. C to -15.degree. C. The dichlorodideoxy and trichloro-trideoxy compounds, which are useful as intermediates for preparing other sucrose derivates, are most conveniently isolated from the reaction mixture in the form of their hexa-acetate and penta-acetate respectively, which are then deacetylated to give the free compounds.
