The unusual, 3,6-anhydro sugar of D-glucal 1 has been synthesized and its structure characterized spectroscopically and by x-ray diffraction. The anhydroglycal has been subjected to a series of known glycal addition reactions and the steroselectivity of these reactions studied. The results of other studies aimed at the formation of related anhydroglycals using a similar methodology will be discussed.
