Studies on amino-hexoses. 8. The Fischer synthesis of methyl D-glucosaminides.

Abstract The direct synthesis of methyl d-glucosaminides by proton catalysis using a strong cation exchanger has been investigated. The formation of the two anomeric pyranosides has been proved unambiguously. Also, the two anomeric furanosides, which have been obtained in an unsatisfactory purity, have been inferred, according to their physical constants, to have formed in the glycosidation reaction.
