Abstract
Derivatives of 2-benzamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose can be converted2 in good yield, into the 2-N-allylbenzylamino derivatives via the 2-N-allylbenzamido derivatives. The N-allylbenzylamino group is a protected amino function which can be readily converted2 into the benzylamino and acylamino functions and we now show other uses for this protecting group in the chemistry of the amino-sugars.
