THE REACTION OF SULPHURYL CHLORIDE WITH REDUCING SUGARS: PART I

Abstract

The reaction of sulphuryl chloride with D-glucose, with D-xylose, and with maltose is described. The products were fully substituted compounds containing both chlorodeoxy and chlorosulphate groups. Formation of the methyl glycosides and subsequent removal of the chlorosulphate groups enabled structural investigations to be carried out on the resultant chlorodeoxy methyl glycosides.
