Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A process to produce by covalent binding conjugates of a substance containing a 2-amino-2-deoxy- glycopyranosyl unit the NHp-function of which in its most stable conformation is equatorially oriented, and a substrate containing a primary amino group, characterized thereby that said substance is subjected to degradation by diazotation to form a substance fragment having a free terminal aldehyde group, said fragment through its aldehyde group being reacted with the amino group of the substrate to form a Schiffs base which is then by reduction converted to a secondary amine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A process to produce by covalent binding conjugates of a substance containing a 2-amino-2-deoxy- glycopyranosyl unit the NHp-function of which in its most stable conformation is equatorially oriented, and a substrate containing a primary amino group, characterized thereby that said substance is subjected to degradation by diazotation to form a substance fragment having a free terminal aldehyde group, said fragment through its aldehyde group being reacted with the amino group of the substrate to form a Schiffs base which is then by reduction converted to a secondary amine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A process according to claim 1, characterized by performing the diazotation in aqueous solution with an agent having the ability of forming NO+ - ions, for example sodium nitrite or butyl nitrite.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by performing the reaction of aldehydo and amino groups in an organic solvent or an aqueous solution.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by performing the reduction of the Schiffs base with cyanoborohydride.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
