This thesis describes two processes for regeneration of free disaccharides from three disaccharide tosylhydra-zones and the characterization of the free disaccharide derivatives. The first regeneration process involves the use of benzaldehyde. The second process utilizes p-nitrobenzaldehyde. Characterization of the regenerated disaccharides and their derivatives was achieved by using methods such as specific rotation, chromatographic techniques, melting points, elemental quantitative analysis and infrared spectroscopy. Optimum chromatographic procedures for separation of three nitrogenous disaccharide derivatives in a synthetic mixture were developed and applied.
