- Thiazolidine Peracetates: Carbohydrate Derivatives that Readily Assign cis-, trans-2,3-Monosaccharides by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Analysis
-
A novel group of carbohydrate derivatives is described that uniquely assign cis/trans-2,3-aldose stereoisomers at low nanomolar concentrations. Aldopentoses, aldohexoses, or component aldoses from hydrolysis of polysaccharides or oligosaccharides react with cysteamine in pyridine to give quantitative formation of thiazolidines, which are subsequently peracetylated in a one-pot reaction. The nonpolar thiazolidines peracetate (TPA) derivatives are analyzed by gas chromatography and electron impact mass spectrometry (GC/EI-MS), each aldose giving rise to two TPA geometric isomers. The quantitative ratio of these diastereomers is dependent upon whether the parent monosaccharide is cis-2,3-(Rib, Lyx, Man, All, Gul, and Tal), or trans-2,3-aldose (Xyl, Ara, Glc, Gal, Ido, and Alt). TPAs generate observed EI-MS fragment ions characteristic of C1-C2 and C3-C4 bond cleavage of the parent sugars. This has been used to estimate the extent of metabolic labeling of microbial cell-wall carbohydrates, especially into the defining anomeric carbons and during aldolase / ketolase -catalyzed rearrangements.

- Cyclic structure of the β(γ)-hydroxy-(mercapto)alkylimines of aldoses
-
In solutions in DMSO-d6, the products from the condensation of ethanolamine and 1,2- and 1,3-aminopropanols with aldoses are mixtures of the α- and β-pyranose forms, whereas the β-mercaptoethylimines of aldoses have the 1,3-thiazolidine structure. Glucose β-mercaptoethylimine is characterized by ring - chain tautomerism involving the α-pyranose and diastereomeric 1,3-thiazolidine tautomers. 1999 Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers.

- Stereochemical control in the formation of thiazolidines from O-protected reducing sugars
-
A synthetic procedure for the formation of thiazolidines from O-protected reducing sugars is described. The procedure allows access to five variations in the pattern of the protecting groups in the thiazolidine derived from D-mannose whilst maintaining co
