Abstract:
The title solvated molecular salt, [MeGluVIm]I (MeGluVIm = 1-(methyl-α-d-gluco-pyran-osid-6-yl)-3-vinyl-imidazolium), or C12H19N2O5 +·I-·C3H7NO, was synthesized from methyl-α-d-6-iodo-gluco-pyran-oside and vinyl-imidazole in DMF. It crystallizes through precipitation from ethyl acetate solution directly after the reaction procedure. The crystal structure consists of an iodide anion and a [MeGluVIm] cation. Furthermore, the crystal structure contains one mol-ecule of DMF, which accepts two O-H⋯H hydrogen bonds from the OH groups of the gluco-pyran-oside.

Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...
Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
Synthesis of carbohydrates
Sugar molecules are covalently linked together by dehydration synthesis. During the reaction, the hydroxyl (-OH) group from...
