Several alkyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosides were synthesized using either the oxazoline or the N-allyloxycarbonyl procedure.The latter procedure gave better yields with fatty alcohols and cholesterol.The derivatives thus prepared were partly of fully deprotected and their surface-active properties assessed.Keywords: 2-Amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose; Amphiphiles; Surfactant; 14C-labelled
