Km. Halkes et al., Synthesis of two hyaluronic-acid-related oligosaccharide 4-methoxyphenyl glycosides having a beta-D-glucuronic acid residue at the reducing end, POL J CHEM, 73(7), 1999, pp. 1123-1131
Synthesis of two hyaluronic-acid-related oligosaccharides, the 4-methoxyphe
nyl beta-glycosides of beta-D-GlcpA-(1 --> 3)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1 --> 4)-D-Gl
cpA and beta-D-GlcpA(1 --> 3)-beta-D-clcpNAc-(1 --> 4)-beta-D-GlcpA-(1 -->
3)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1 --> 4)-D-GlcpA, is described. D-Glucopyranosyluronic a
cid residues were obtained by selective oxidation at C6 of corresponding D-
glucopyranosyl residues after construction of the oligosaccharide backbones
, using pyridinium dichromate and acetic anhydride.
