Abstract
Summary A potential aldehyde group of an oligosaccharide is combined with 2-aminopyridine by means of the reductive amination with sodium cyanoborohydride giving a fluorescent 2-aminopyridine derivative. The sugar derivative can be used for the purpose of the determination of 1, a degree of polymerization; 2, sequence of the sugar units; 3, the linkage points of the sugar units, and the preparation of finger prints.
