Notes on improved procedures for the chemical modification and degradation of glycosphingolipids.

Some simplified and efficient procedures are described for the following chemical modifications of glycophingolipids. 1) The olefinic bond of the ceramide moiety of the acetylated glycolipid was quantitatively oxidized with osmium tetroxide and periodic acid. Treatment of the resulting glycolipid al...
