Abstract:
Pyridylamino derivatization is suitable for the microanalysis of sugars, but there is a problem in that by-products of the labeling reaction and fluorescent substances from samples occasionally interfere with the detection of pyridylamino sugars. Especially, interference by them is serious in monosaccharide analysis. I have developed a convenient purification method for pyridylamino monosaccharides by the use of a spin column with boronate-conjugated resin.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Gabriel Synthesis
Strong bases like NaOH or KOH deprotonate the phthalimide to form the corresponding anion, which acts as a nucleophile. Further, the anion attacks an...
Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
