I t has been shown that the dialdehydes obtained from sugar glycosides by oxidation with periodic acid can be reduced readily to the corresponding alcohols, the structures of which have been proved. Since this treatment results in the elimination of all dissvmmetrv except that at C1, an examination of these new alcohols provides a simple way of correlating the structure of glycosides.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
