Reaction Steps

Dissolve 1.5 g. of 3-acetamido-3-deoxy-2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-D-galactopyranosyl acetate in 75 ml. of dioxane containing 4% by weight of hydrogen chloride and add 35 ml. of acetyl chloride to the solution. Allow the mixture to stand in a dry nitrogen atmosphere for 16 hours at 40°. Evaporate the mixture to dryness in vacuo to a syrup. Repeatedly co-distil this residue with dry toluene until all hydrogen chloride is removed. Crystallize the resultant residue with hexane to obtain the title product of this example.
