Lead acetate Maltose

LVIII) yields much more formic acid than does maltose (LIX), and its lead tetraacetate consumption is proportionately higher.166 Other disaccharides were examined142 166 under the latter conditions, and also in 98% acetic acid without potassium acetate.166 Each position of the glycosidic... 

Maltose derivative (101) was converted into a corresponding glucosamine compound and the 5,6-acetal was then removed and inversion was effected at C-5 to lead to the heparin related compound (102). Related compounds were also described. The spacer modified oligosaccharide (103), which has the same number of atoms linking the sugar units as does the core of N-linked glycoconjugates, has been synthesised. ...
