title: A concise synthesis of 5-amino-5-deoxyaldonic acids as monomers for the preparation of nylon 5.
abstract: Saponification of 5-azido-5-deoxy-D-pentonolactones (ribo-, arabino-, xylo-) with NaOH gave the corresponding 5-azido-5-deoxyaldonic acids sodium salts which, after regeneration of the acid form followed by catalytic reduction, led to the target compounds in 98% overall yields.
