Some hydroxyethyl and hydroxypropyl derivatives of D-glucose and of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose have been sunthesized for use as reference substances for structural studies of hydroxyethylated and hydroxypropylated hyaluronic acid.Hydroxyethyl and hydroxypropyl substituents were introduced in the 2-O- or 3-O-position of D-glucose and in the 4-O- or 6-O-positions of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose by reaction of suitably protected sugars with either ethylene oxide or propylene oxide.For hydroxyethyl derivatives yields varied between 21 and 74percent and with a substantial portion of the doubly alkylated compounds.For hydroxypropyl derivatives yields varied between 15 and 80percent.Only trace amounts of the doubly alkylated compounds were found.The proportions of the respective derivatives were estimated using GLC-MS.All products were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
