The N-glycosylation of o-, m- and p-aminophenols by mannose, rhamnose and maltose is described. The composition of the synthesized products is established by microchemical analysis, and their IR and 13C nmr spectra are investigated. As a result of the N-glycosyla­­tion of isomeric aminophenols, the anomeric effect is observed: N-o-hydroxyphenylman­nosylamine and N-o-hydroxyphenylrhamnisylamine appear only as b-anomers, and the other N-hydroxyphenyl-glycosylamines appear as a mixture of a- and b-anomers.

Key words: aminophenols, maltose, mannose, N-glycosides, rhamnose
