Chittenden, Gordon J. F.
, p. 455 - 458 (1988)
Reaction of D-glucono-1,4-lactone, obtained from the 1,5-lactone by a modified procedure, with 2,2-dimethoxypropane-tin(II) chloride yields the corresponding 5,6-O-isopropylidene derivative.The preparation of the title compound from this acetal by periodate oxidation together with the characterisation of products and intermediates is described.
