Decyl and Dodecyl β-D-Fructofuranosides.

Abstract Decyl and dodecyl β- d -fructofuranosides are formed from d -fructose and catalysed by boron trifluoride alcoholates, in admixture with the corresponding α- d anomers and β- d -pyranosides. These were separated by chromatography and each of the products was fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and as tetrakis(p-nitrobenzoates).
