Methylation-GC-MS analysis of arabinofuranose- and galactofuranose-containing structures: rapid synthesis of partially O-methylated alditol acetate standards

Arabinose and galactose were treated with MeOH containing traces of H2SO4 or HCl at 25ºC to give mixtures of their methyl alpha- and beta-furanosides, as shown by 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Oxidation of the Me alpha,beta-Araf mixture with NaIO4 preferentially oxidised the beta-isome...
