Use of mesitylenesulphonyl (‘mesisyl’) chloride as a selective sulphonylating reagent

Abstract
Mesitylenesulphonyl (‘mesisyl’) chloride has been shown to react with vic-hydroxy-systems to give the mono-ester as the major or sole product, and an improved procedure for the synthesis of methyl 2,3-anhydro-4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-mannoside is given; vic-di-O-mesisyl esters are not cleaved by alkali to give epoxides.
