Abstract: D-Glucuronic acid, α,α-dimethoxytoluene, and a strongly acidic cation-exchange resin in the H⁺ form were used in a modified transacetalization reaction. Methyl [methyl 3,5-O-benzylidene-2-O-(1-methoxybenzyl)-α-D-glucofuranosid]uronate was formed as a major product. Its structure was proved with combination of ¹H  and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
