Abstract
A synthesis of methyl pentopyranosid-4-uloses bas been achieved by microbiological oxidation by Acetobacter suboxydans of some methyl pentopyranosides. The oxidation products were isolated as their O-methyloxime derivatives, and the assignment of the configuration of the oximes was made on the basis of the carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectra. An analysis of the oxidative specificity of A. suboxydans towards methyl glycopyranosides is presented.
