Carbohydrates deoxy sugars

A commonplace variation on the general pattern seen m carbohydrate structure is the replacement of one or more of the hydroxyl substituents by some other atom or group In deoxy sugars the hydroxyl group is replaced by hydrogen Two examples of deoxy sugars are 2 deoxy d nbose and l rhamnose... 

Sections Structurally modified carbohydrates include deoxy sugars, ammo sugars,...

T he last five years have witnessed a reawakening interest in modem carbohydrate chemistry, a feature which is reflected in the number of symposia held by the Division of Carbohydrate Chemistry during national meetings of the American Chemical Society. The scheduling of a symposium on Deoxy Sugars for the fall meeting of 1966 seemed very opportune if not somewhat overdue. 

In tandem with his studies of polysaccharides, Stacey had a research group investigating the chemistry of the unusual sugars found as components of carbohydrate macromolecules. In this context, derivatives of simple sugars, di- and trisaccharides, uronic acids, deoxy sugars, amino sugars, sugar sulfates, and phosphates were studied.
