S. Trombotto et al., Hydrogen peroxide oxidation of palatinose and trehalulose: direct preparation of carboxymethyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside, TETRAHEDR L, 41(43), 2000, pp. 8273-8277
The direct oxidation of palatinose and trehalulose by hydrogen peroxide in
acidic medium provided carboxymethyl alpha -D-glucopyranoside (alpha -CMG)
in moderate to fair yields in a single step. The effect of catalytic sodium
tungstate on the reaction was studied. alpha -CMG is a versatile synthon a
ble to supply a glucosyl moiety through the acylation of alcohols or amines
, via the opening of the delta -lactone obtained by acetylation. (C) 2000 E
