Abstract

(1→4)- and (1→6)-linked disaccharides were epimerized at C-2 of the reducing terminal under mild conditions by calcium(II)–N-alkylated monoamine systems. Naturally rare (1→4)-linked heterodisaccharides having a D-mannose unit as a reducing terminal can be prepared in one step from disaccharides having a D-glucose unit which are abundunt in nature.
