Abstract

Abstract Carbohydrates with 1, 4 glycosidic bonds like maltose, lactose, dextrin or starch react with primary amines as well as amino acids or proteins to give ie 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4- pyridones 5 and 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyridonimines 7. A generally applicable synthesis of compounds of this type is described. The pyridones 5 and pyridonimines 7 are strongly complexing agents. Molybdenum-derivatives, for instance, are suitable as fairly stable ...
