A method is described for the direct conversion of 3,4,6-tri-0-acetyl-D-glucal to 3,4,6-tri-0-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-..cap alpha..-D-glucopyranosyl fluoride (I) and 3,4,6-tri-0-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-..beta..-D-mannopyranosyl fluoride (II) by reaction with F/sub 2/. I and II hydrolyze to 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose and 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-mannose. The method can be used to prepare I and II in yields of 35 and 26%, respectively. (BLM)
