✦ Synopsis
Dissolution of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose
(1) or -D-galactose (2) in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, followed by addition of methanol, gave stereospecifitally the corresponding methyl J?-D-glycopyranosides 7 and 8. When solutions of 1 or 2 in hydrogen fluoride were slowly evaporated, mixtures of exclusively ED-(1+6)-linked di-to hexa-sacch~des containing 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-glu~osy~ (9) and -galactosyl (10) residues were obtained; these were separated by gel permeation chromatography to give pure products. Compounds 7 and 9 were also obtained when solutions of chitin were treated under appropriate conditions. *Dedicated to Prof. Edgar Lederer on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

Recent years have seen a remarkable surge of interest in the study of U-Lfucosyltransferases. Of these L-fucosyltransferases, the enzyme (143)~a+fucosyltransferase has attracted a great deal of clinical interest as a potential tumor marker. This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of an L-fucosyl group f
