Studies on Amino-hexoses. VII The N-Deacetylation of Methyl N-Acetyl α-d-Glucosaminide

Abstract
Methyl N-acetyl-α-d-glucosaminide has been found to be well N-deacetylated by hydrazine treatment. The methyl α-d-glucosaminide thus produced shows so much stability with regarded to hydrazine and to barium hydroxide that these reagents provide a convenient means of preparing anomerically-pure methyl d-glucosaminide and its hydrochloride. The free base of methyl α-d-glucosaminide has been obtained crystalline for the first time.
