Peracetylated laminaribiose: Preparation by specific degradation of curdlan and its chemical conversion into N-acetylhyalobiuronic acid

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0008-6215(91)89048-K

β-Laminaribiose octaacetate (2b) was prepared in greater than 50% yield from the microbial polysaccharide curdlan by specific degradation with a yeast cell-wall lytic enzyme preparation, Kitalase, and subsequent acetylation. Acetolysis of curdlan also gav
