title: Behaviour of dehydroalanine derivatives under hydrazinolysis conditions. Possible relevance to glycoprotein hydrazinolysis.
abstract: Reactions that are relevant to the cleavage, by hydrazinolysis, of O-linked oligosaccharides from glycoproteins were studied using dehydroalanine derivatives as models of the intermediates formed from O-glycosylated serine residues. Conjugate addition of hydrazine followed by cyclisation to form pyrazolidinones, if occurring during glycoprotein hydrazinolysis, could reduce the yield of released oligosaccharide. However, N-acetyldehydroalanine amide derivatives, which modelled the dehydroalanine derivatives believed to be intermediates in the hydrazinolysis of glycoproteins containing O-linked oligosaccharides, underwent conjugate addition but no cyclisation.
