Of 2-amino-2-deoxy sugars

Aryl glycosides of 2-amino-2-deoxy sugars, as might be expected, can be prepared by similar techniques as was illustrated by the synthesis of phenyl 3,4,6-tri-0-acetyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-p-D-glucoside and -D-galactoside by toluene -sulphonic acid catalysed reactions between phenol and the hexosamine penta-acetates These products were then anomerised using zinc chloride as catalyst to provide means of obtaining -anomers. 

The preparation of several glucofuran [2, l-t/] oxazolines 35 and 36 from reaction of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose 34 with HF has been described. Compounds 35a and 35b are formed when the reaction is carried out in formic acid, whereas the orthoesters 36a-c are formed when the reaction is carried out using anhydrides. Further reaction of 35 and 36 with methanol gives methyl glycosides. Thus, 35 and 36 may hnd use as potential glycosyl donors for the synthesis of 2-amino-2-deoxy sugars (Scheme 8.14). " ...

In the following Tables, an attempt has been made to compile a comprehensive list of the melting points and specific rotations of 2-amino-2-deoxy sugars and their derivatives. Literature up to late 1959 has been surveyed. The tables replace those of A. B. Foster and M. Stacey, Advances in Carbohydrate Chem., 7, 281 (1952) and bring the subject up to date.
