Abstract: The relative intensities of the mass spectral peaks of the ions at m/e 74, 71, and 60 expressed in % of the total ionization % ∑45 can be used for distinguishing between the Me 2-O-methyl- and 4-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranosides. Partial deacetylation of Me 2,4-di-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-6-O-triphenylmethyl-α-D-glucopyranoside gave the 4-O-monoacetate. Purdie methylation of Me 3-O-benzyl-6-O-triphenylmethyl-α-D-glucopyranoside gave the 2-O-methyl deriv.
