Self‐Metathesis of Polyol Allyl Ethers towards Carbohydrate‐Based Oligohydroxy Derivatives
Various allyl ethers of 1,4-anhydro-D-sorbitol and pentaerythritol were synthesised as starting materials for self-metathesis reactions. Thus, dimeric compounds having six free hydroxy groups became accessible and should be used as potential analogues of dipentaerythritol for alkyd resin formation.
