Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0008-6215(94)84180-2

Five derivatives of methyl α-D-glucopyranoside, in which the substituents form noncyclic structures, have been prepared as model substances for possible structural elements formed on reaction of polysaccharides with epichlorohydrin.The substances were converted into the permethylated alditol-1-d derivatives and characterised by CIMS and EIMS.
