title: Synthesis and mass spectra of 4-O-acetyl-1,5-anhydro-2,3,6-tri-O -(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-D-glucitol and the positional isomers of 4- O-acetyl-1,5-anhydro-di-O-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-O-methyl-D-glucitol and 4-O-acetyl-1,5-anhydro-O-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-di-O-methyl-D-glucitol .
abstract: Reductive cleavage of fully methylated, partially O-carboxymethylated cellulose had previously been shown to produce 4-O-acetyl-1,5-anhydro-2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-, -2-O-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-3,6-di-O-methyl-, -3-O-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-2,6-di-O-methyl-, -6-O-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-2,3-di-O-methyl-, -2,3-di-O-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-6-O-methyl-, -2,6-di-O-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-3-O-methyl-, -3,6-di-O-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-2-O-methyl-, and -2,3,6-tri-O-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-D-glucitol. Described herein is the independent synthesis of these derivatives, except for the first, which had been reported. In addition, their 1H-n.m.r. spectra, chemical-ionization (NH3) mass spectra, and electronionization mass spectra are tabulated.
