[New route of 2-N-(carboxypropylamino)-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose synthesis].

A new route to 2-N-(carboxypropylamino)-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose synthesis is reported, involving the Schiff-base derivative of beta-D-glucosamine with benzyl 4-oxobutyrate. Improvement in the synthesis of benzyl-4-oxobutyrate is also described. Biological compounds action was investigated by evaluating sedative and dopaminergic activities on male mice.
