Versatile syntheses of mono- or bis-allylhalothiol-carbonates of some alditol or sugar derivatives via cyclic thionocarbonates as intermediates Original Research Article

We describe herein an extension of the halogenation of 1,2 or 1,3-diols via a cyclic thionocarbonate functionality by reaction with an allyl halide instead of methyl iodide, which is usually used. This investigation was successfully carried out under both conventional heating and microwave solvent-free conditions with some alditol, thioanhydroalditol, and aldose derivatives.
