Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Some Reactions of 2,3,4-Tri-O-acetyl-β-D-Galactopyranurono-6, 1-lactone

Abstract
D-Gluco-, D -galacto-, and D-manno-configurated 6, 1-lactones of uronic acid were synthesized. A new synthetic approach based on the photobromination. hydrolysis, and oxidation of the corresponding 1,6-anhydro sugars is reported. Conformational studies of 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranurono-6,l-lactone in crystalline form and in solution were undertaken. First results of selective deacetylation catalyzed by wheat germ lipase are reported.
