Popis: Unlike the dialdehydes formed from neutral monosaccharide residues, the dialdehydes from hexosamine residues are resistant to acidified ethanethiol, leaving the hemiacetal bond intact. However, the borohydride-reduced dialdehydes are readily split into the component aldehyde and alcohols; gas Chromatographic analysis of their derivatives is useful for structural studies of hexosamine-containing carbohydrates. Investigation by these sequential derivatization reactions indicated that anomeric methyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy- d -glucopyranosides were oxidized in normal Malapradian fashion, whereas 2-acetamido-2-deoxy- d -glucose was over-oxidized. The rate of oxidation of 2-acetamido-D-glucitol was very rapid; the oxidation product can also be analyzed by the direct dithioacetal method (mercaptalation followed by trimethylsilylation).
