Abstract

-2cetohalogen derivatives of sugars play an important role in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry and ease of preparation of these compounds is of considerable value. Formerly the classical procedure for preparing acetobromo sugars has involved treatment of the sugar acetate with a solution of hydrogen bromide in either glacial acetic acid or acetic anhydride.- j Acctyl bromide has also been used6 A simplified procedure for making ...
