Oxidation-Degradation of Methyl 2,3-Di-O-ethyl-4-O-propyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside and Methyl 2,3-Di-O-ethyl-6-O-propyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside.

Abstract
The degradation of methyl 2,3-di-O-ethyl-4-O-propyl-.alpha.-D-gluco-hexo-dialdo-1,5-pyranoside and methyl 2,3-di-O-ethyl-6-O-propyl-.alpha.-D-xylo-hexopyranosid-4-ulose by treatment with base followed by acid hydrolysis under mild conditions and with acid only were investigated. These model experiments provide an understanding of the degradation of methylated hexodialdo-1,5-pyranosyl and hexopyranosyl-4-ulose residues in a polysaccharide on similar treatment.
