title: Identification of an acetyl disulfide derivative in the synthesis of thiosialosides.
abstract: The first report of the formation of an acetyl disulfide sialoside during the synthesis of thioglycosides is described. This compound is a by-product in the synthesis of the 2-thioacetyl sialoside commonly used in thioglycoside preparation. Our investigations into the identification of this novel disulfide are described.
