Synthesis, structure, and properties of allylamino glycosides

Glycosylation of allylamine with D-glucose, D-galactose, and D-mannose in dry primary aliphatic alcohols was studied. The structures of the resulting N-allyl glycosylamines were established, and their reactivities were studied. It was found that N-allyl glycosylamines tend to structural isomerization involving a change in ring size and do not tend to radical polymerization in the presence of azo initiators.
