ABSTRACT PROF. EMIL FISCHER'S latest paper in the final part of the _Berlin Berichte_ for 1912 brings another chapter in the chemistry of the sugars to a close. His welcome return to

the subject has been attended with the same brilliant experimental dexterity which led to his former successes in this remarkable group of compounds, and it is to be hoped that he will yet

succeed in conquering the still unsolved problem of the synthesis of the disaccharides. Fischer now describes the conversion of ordinary glucose into a methyl pentose, and is enabled to

clear up the constitutional formulae of the stereoisomeric methyl pentoses and effect their complete synthesis from the elements. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a
