Abstract:Eingegangen a m 13. September 1968) SUMMARY:The alkaline saponification of cellulose tosylates containing the tosyloxy group at various carbon atoms of the basic unit has been studied. It has been found that this reaction leads to the formation of mixed polysaccharides containing 2.3-and 3.6-anhydrorings. The monosaccharide composition of mixed polysaccharides which are anhydroderivatives of cellulose has been determined. The stereochemistry of the opening of a-oxide rings in 2.3-anhydroderivatives of cellulos… Show more
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.
