Resumen:
2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-methyl-D-galactonic acid (5) was readily prepared from D-galactono-1,4-lactone (1) in 47% yield. The sequence involves tritylation of HO-6 of 1, followed by O-permethylation and deprotection. Lactonization of 5 led to the per-Omethyl-D-galactono-1,6-lactone, which was copolymerized with w-caprolactone by ring-opening polymerization catalyzed by scandium triflate. The incorporation of the sugar comonomer into the polyester chain was about 10%.
