Abstract
Chemical stability similar to that of a normal glycosidic linkage is displayed by the novel acetal linkage between monosaccharides through the structural element shown. This survives hydrolysis with dilute acetic acid, but is cleaved under the hydrolytic conditions normally used in monosaccharide analysis (2 M HCl)—a possible reason why the structural element has only now been identified.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
