(2004) Synthesis of phenylseleno sugars from epoxides and of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives for the study of their insecticidal activity. Journal of Carbohydrate Chemistry, 23(4): 239-251. https://doi.org/10.1081/CAR-2000300770732-8303http://hdl.handle.net/10400.15/4376This work reports the synthesis of sugar epoxides and their derivatives obtained by reaction with the dianion of phenyl selenoacetic acid. Approaches to the introduction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl units in pyranoid systems were investigated. Preparation of a protected D-glycero-hex-3-enepyranosid-2-ulose and of a D-erythro-hex-2-enono-1,5-lactone is described. Some of the synthesized compounds possess insecticidal activity against fruit flies, house flies, and white flies.engsugar epoxidesphenylseleno sugarsα,β-unsaturated carbonyl moietyinsecticidal activitySynthesis of phenylseleno sugars from epoxides and of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives for the study of their insecticidal activityjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1081/CAR-200030077
