L. Holmberg et al., THE REACTION BETWEEN EPICHLOROHYDRIN AND POLYSACCHARIDES .1. SYNTHESES OF SOME MODEL SUBSTANCES WITH NONCYCLIC SUBSTITUENTS, Carbohydrate research, 262(2), 1994, pp. 213-221
Five derivatives of methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside, in which the subst
ituents form noncyclic structures, have been prepared as model substan
ces for possible structural elements formed on reaction of polysacchar
ides with epichlorohydrin. The substances were converted into the perm
ethylated alditol-1-d derivatives and characterised by CIMS and EIMS.
