Monosaccharides products from acylated

The similarity of the products obtained by ammonolysis, either of acylated nitriles, or of acylated aldehydo monosaccharides having one carbon atom less than the corresponding nitriles, was verified12 by ammonolysis of 2,3,4,5,6-penta-O-acetyl-aWehydo-D-glucose (20), which afforded the same N-acetyl-a-D-glucofuranosylamine (15) as that obtained from the peracetylated heptononitrile 14.
