Abstract: Optimum conditions for the oxidn. of the primary OH group of Me 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside to the corresponding uronic acid with CrO3 and dil. H2SO4 in Me2CO were detd. Me 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl- and -benzyl-α-D-glucopyranoside and Me 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl- and -benzyl-β-D-glucopyranoside were oxidized to give uronic acids which were esterified with CH2N2. Deblocking gave Me (Me α- and β-D-glucopyranosid)uronates.
