Abstract
REFERRING to the communication by S. D. Nicholas and Dr. F. Smith entitled "Acetylation of Sugars" (Nature, March 6, p. 349), Dr. P. H. Plesch, Chemistry Department, University of Manchester, remarks that the use of perchloric acid as catalyst in the acetylation of sugars is by no means new ; it has been discussed in some detail by D. Krueger and W. Roman (Berichte, 69, 1830 (1936) and Angew. Chem., 47, 58 (1934)).
