Claim 3

A product according to claim 1 which is the sulfate of 4-O-[2',6'-diamino 2',6'-didesoxy α ,D-glucopyranosyl] 6-O-[3"-methylamino 3",4",6"-tridesoxy α,D-xylohexopyranosyl] 2-desoxy streptamine.

Claim 4

A process for the preparation of the product of claim 1 which consists essentially of reacting a compound of the formula: ##SPC15## with an alkaline agent selected from the group consisting of alkali metal hydroxide, alkali metal carbonate, alkali metal bicarbonate and baryta at room temperature to obtain the compound of the formula: ##SPC16## treating the latter product with a benzyl halide in the presence of an alkaline agent selected from the group consisting of alkali metal hydride, alkali metal amide and alkali metal hydroxide to obtain a compound of the formula: ##SPC17## treating the latter product with acetic anhydride in acetic aicd in the presence of a strong acid selected from the group consisting of mineral acids, organic acids, Lewis acids and an ion-exchange resin of the sulfonic type to obtain the product of the formula: ##SPC18## treating the latter product with an anhydrous hydrochloric acid in the presence of acetyl chloride in an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of dioxane, ethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and 1,2 dimethoxyethane to obtain the product of the formula: ##SPC19## reacting the latter product with a compound of the formula: ##SPC20## in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of mercury salts and tertiary amine to obtain the correcponding product in the form of a mixture of the α-anomer of the formula: ##SPC21## and the β-anomer of the formula: ##SPC22## separating the α- and β-anomers, treating the α-anomer with a dilute acid selected from the group consisting of an aqueous organic acid and an aqueous mineral acid to obtain the product of the formula: ##SPC23## treating the latter product with tosyl halide in the presence of a base to obtain the product of the formula: ##SPC24## where Ts is tosyl, reacting the latter product with alkali metal nitride to obtain the azide of the formula: ##SPC25## reducing the latter compound in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrogenation catalyst, treating the resulting compound with an alkaline medium to free the methylamino function and obtain the product of claim 1.

Claim 5
