University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Within the past few decades, interest in the field of aminosugar chemistry has been stimulated to a remarkable degree and the discovery and syntheses of a wide range of new aminosugars of differing types, for example of two monoamino-tetroses (12,19), nineteen monoamino-pentoses, two diamino-pentoses, thirty-three monoamino-hexoses, and eighteen diamino-hexoses (20) have been accomplished. It is well undterstood that the aminosugars, significant constituents in mnay biologically important materials (11), consist of substances that may be regarded a teh condesation products of an amine and a carbohydrate. Falling into this category are the 2-amino-hexoses which may be derived conceptually as the condensation …
