Chemical Synthesis of Hexose and Hexosamine Sulphates

Nature volume 183, pages 109–110 (1959)Cite this article

Abstract

RECENT work1 in these laboratories has been concerned with the enzymic degradation of naturally occurring aminopolysaccharide sulphates. Further extension of these studies necessitated the synthesis of a series of hexose and hexosamine sulphate esters. Methods for the sulphation of carbohydrates have been re-examined and procedures developed for the synthesis of authentic samples of glucose-6-sulphate and N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulphate.
