Abstract

Procedures for the synthesis of aD-glucosamine-1-phosphate and N-acetyl-aD-glucosamine- 1-phosphate are described. al-Bromo-3, 4, 6-tri-O-acetylglucosamine hydrobromide was treated with the triethylamine salt of diphenylphosphoric acid. Phenyl groups were cleaved from the resulting diphenyl phosphoric ester and the acetyl groups were removed by treatment with potassium methoxide to give the a-1-phosphoric ester of glucosamine as ...
