This invention relates to an improved process for the synthesis of 4-alkoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acids. According to the process of the invention, N-acetylneuraminic acid is first alkylated at C-1 and C-2 and then the vicinal hydroxyl groups at C-8 and C-9 are protected through the formation of a ketal. The resulting protected alkyl ester alkyl ketoside is then alkylated at the C-4 position whereby ...

The present invention relates to a process for the separation of components in an organic liquid medium with a semi-permeable composite membrane with a porous carrier substrate on which a polymer network obtained by interfacial polymerisation is applied. In the process of the invention the organic liquid medium is brought into contact with such semi-permeable composite membrane of which the polyme...
