Abstract
This paper reports a simple method for the preparation of isopropylidene carbohydrates using clay as a catalyst. Treatment of various monosaccharides and/or ribonucleosides with acetone in the presence of clay such as a montmorillonite K 10 (K 10) under mild reaction conditions gave isopropylidene carbohydrates (1–7) in good yields.
