Absolute Asymmetric Synthesis of a Tetrahedral Silver Complex

Even though the isolation of tetrahedral stereoisomers usually presents a synthetic challenge, a highly enantioenriched tetrahedral silver complex could be easily accessed by either crystallization or Viedma ripening. The overall preparation may be regarded as an example of absolute asymmetric synthesis. Experimental results indicate that both crystallization and Viedma ripening follow a similar cluster‐controlled mechanism.     

Derivatization Procedures for Reducing Oligosaccharides,Part 3: Preparation of Oligosaccharide Glycosylamines,and Their Conversion Into Glycosaccharide - Acrylamide Copolymers

Abstract

Reducing oligosaccharides were converted in good yields into the corresponding primary glycosylamines by treatment with aqueous ammonium bicarbonate. The glycosylamines were then acryloylated and the obtained oligosaccharide N-acryloyl glycosylamines were copolymerized with acrylamide. High molecular weight, linear copolymers were obtained, which were useful as antigens in immunoassays.
