• groups by fluorine atoms arise from their similarities in term of polarity and isosteric relationship [3][8]. For a long time, fluorinated carbohydrates have been used as a method to stabilize glycosidic bonds [9][10][11] or for epitope mapping [12][13]. More recently, heavily fluorinated carbohydrates

• biological activities of heavily fluorinated carbohydrates [19][21][22][23][24][25]. With intermediates 2–5 in hand, we studied the reactivities of a small set of chirally distinct difluorinated 1,6-anhydro-β-ᴅ-hexopyranose analogues. We aimed to explore the difference in reactivities of compounds 2–5 under
