Abstract

The electrochemical reduction α-D-glycopyranosyl bromides has been investigated both by cyclic voltammetry and constant potential electrolysis on a mercury cathode. In the presence of suitable radical acceptors such as acrylonitrile or resorcinol the intermediate glycosyl radical formed during the first reduction step can react with formation of a CC or CO bond on the anomeric carbon. The reaction products of preliminary explorative electrolyses were isolated and characterized.
