Vi. Kadentsev et al., SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE INTERACTION OF METHYL ETHERS OF METHYL (METHYL-ALPHA-D-GALACTOPYRANOSIDE)URONATE WITH TRIMETHYLSILYL IONS IN THE GAS-PHASE, Russian chemical bulletin, 46(7), 1997, pp. 1261-1263
Specific features of the interaction between trimethylsilyl ions and m
ethyl (methyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside)uronate and its methyl ethers
were revealed. It was shown that a hydrogen atom is generated when the
trimethylsilyl ion is located at hydroxyl group. This atom migrates o
ver the methoxy and hydroxyl groups toward the glycoside methoxy group
, resulting in the formation of [Me+SiMe3-MeOH](+) ions.
