Abstract

The first report of the formation of an acetyl disulfide sialoside during the synthesis of thioglycosides is described. This compound is a by-product in the synthesis of the 2- thioacetyl sialoside commonly used in thioglycoside preparation. Our investigations into the identification of this novel disulfide are described.
