General description

The reaction of 3,4-diethoxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione (squaric acid diethyl ester) with glycosylamines (formed by reducing oligosaccharides) was studied. The derivatives formed were linked to amino-functionalized lipids, solids or proteins.

Application

3,4-Dethoxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione is used as a starting material for synthesis of furanones and quinones. It undergoes ethoxy substitution with amines and unsaturated organosilanes.
