Abstract: Oxidn. of the primary OH group of N-(4-nitrophenyl)glycosylamines of aldoses by NO₂ followed by hydrolytic elimination of the aglycon gave uronic acids. This simple procedure for prepn. of aldohexuronic acids gave D-[U-¹⁴C]mannuronic, D-[U-¹⁴C]glucuronic, and D-[U-¹⁴C]galacturonic acid from the corresponding [U-¹⁴C]-labeled aldohexoses.
