Abstract

One less carbon atom is found in 1-halo-1-iodo compounds obtained by C1-C2 radical fragmentation of carbohydrate 1,2-halohydrins. This fragmentation is achieved via the anomeric alkoxy radicals of the halohydrins, formed upon reaction with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene and iodine [Eq. (1); X=Cl, Br, I].
