Methyl 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-alpha- and beta-D-glucopyranosides and alpha- and beta-D-glucofuranosides were prepared by methanolysis of 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-glucofuranose. Crystalline 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl chloride (2) and the corresponding glycosyl bromide (3) were prepared from 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-glucopyranose (1). Reaction of 2 with methanol under the conditions of both silver triflate- and silver perchlorate-catalyzed glycosylation showed remarkable lack of stereoselectivity for the formation of the corresponding methyl alpha-glycoside, despite the presence at C-2 of the fluorine functionality presumably not capable of neighboring-group participation. Pure methyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-alpha- and beta-D-glucopyranosides were obtained by fractional crystallization from the mixture formed by methanolysis of 1. The structure of these substances as well as of several other derivatives of 2-deoxy-2-fluoro- and 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-D-glucose were verified by n.m.r. (1H, 13C, and 19F) spectroscopy.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D006027	Glycosides	Any compound that contains a constituent sugar, in which the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon is substituted by an alcoholic, phenolic, or other group. They are named specifically for the sugar contained, such as glucoside (glucose), pentoside (pentose), fructoside (fructose), etc. Upon hydrolysis, a sugar and nonsugar component (aglycone) are formed.
