Abstract
A simple and inexpensive three-step reaction sequence for advanced experimental organic chemistry using D-glucosamine hydrochloride as starting material for the synthesis of 2-amino-2-deoxy-1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl -b-D-glucopyranose hydrochloride is described. The aim of the experiment is to protect the hydroxyl groups of D-glucosamine leaving its amino group as hydrochloride salt. The experiment deals only with protection and deprotection reactions.

Emma M. Dangerfield and Bridget L. Stocker , Rhys Batchelor , Peter T. Northcote and Joanne E. HarveyJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (5), 689Carbohydrates, in the form of glycoconjugates, have recently been shown to control a wide range of cellular processes. Accordingly, students interested in the study of organic chemistry and biomedical sciences should be exposed to carbohydrate chemistry. ...

Keith A. Stubbs, Adrian Scaffidi, Aleksandra W. Debowski, Brian L. Mark, Robert V. Stick, and David J. VocadloJournal of the American Chemical Society2008 130 (1), 327-335The NagZ class of retaining exo-glucosaminidases play a critical role in peptidoglycan recycling in Gram-negative bacteria and the induction of resistance to -lactams. Here we describe the concise synthesis of 2-azidoacetyl-2-deoxy-5-fluoro--d-...
