Final proof of the structure of D-glucosamine as 2-amino -D-gluco-pyranose (I) was furnished as indicated below independently by both chemical14, 16 and x-ray methods.1 By the action of ammonia on 2,3-... 

Both methods of approach moreover proved that a series of methylated derivatives of D-glucosamine described by Cutler, Haworth and Peat,14 and most useful as reference compounds in this field, were all of the pyranose configuration. Further proof of the pyranose structure of methyl D-glucosaminide and methyl N-acetyl-D-glucosaminide was pro-...

The phosphorylation of D-glucosamine (2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose) was first achieved by incubating it with brain extracts and ATP.266 Crystalline, yeast hexokinase plus ATP also phosphorylates D-glucosamine, to give the 6-phosphate, at a rate at least 75 % of that of phosphorylation of D-glucose ...

In May, 1944, Onodera was promoted to Associate Professor. After 1950, the condition of scientific research in Japan gradually improved, and Onodera and his associates succeeded in publishing the following results deamination of D-glucosamine by barium hypobromite (1952) transgly-... 

A special case is the exclusive formation of the nitrile by the mild acetylation of D-glucosamine oxime. ... 

Preparation of acetylated nitriles from oximes with pyridine-acetic anhydride. Penta-acelyl-n-glucosaminonitrile. One gram of D-glucosamine oxime hydrochloride was treated with 6 ml. of pyridine and 6 ml. of acetic anhydride and kept at 20° until solution had occurred. The solution was then concentrated and the crystalline residue was recrystallized from ethanol yield 1.8 g. (84%), m. p. 126°.
