New method of reducing lactones and esters of aldonic acids to sugars

Summary A simple, general method of reducing esters and lactones of aldonic acids to sugars by the action of sodium amalgam, according to which the process is conducted in the presence of a strong cation exchange resin to maintain optimum pH, has been proposed.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya No. 11, pp. 2095–2096, November, 1964

Synthesis and three-dimensional structures of geometrical isomers of some 4-substitute d 1,2,5-trimethyl-4-acetoxy- and 1,2,5-trimethyl-4-benzoxypiperidines

Stereoisomers of the corresponding 4-substituted 1,2,5-trimethyl-4-acetoxy- and 1,2,5-trimethyl-4-benzoxypiperidines were obtained by acylation of the geometrical isomers of 1,2, 5-trimethyl-4-piperidol and its 4-ethynyl, 4-ethyl, and 4-phenyl-substituted derivatives. The preferred conformations of the investigated esters were elucidated by means of the PMR and IR spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No.1, pp. 50–55, January, 1973.
