32. We have recently reported that D-glucosamine and derivatives can be anchored to a solid support at the amine/nitrogen through a tris(alkoxy)benzyl BAL handle in a ’safety-catch’ manner. When the anchoring is through the secondary amine, the anchoring is relatively acid-stable. Upon N-acylation to form the acylamine, the anchoring linkage becomes labile to coned TFA: Tolborg J.F.; Jensen, K.J.

34. Due to the very thick precipitate formed during the reaction, a mechanical stirrer was initially employed for efficient mixing of the reagents. However, it was found that carrying out the reaction in a beaker and shaking the reagents for 18 h afforded both efficient mixing and facilitation of the work-up procedure.
