Daunosamine is a deoxy sugar and amino sugar of the hexosamine class.

Daunosamine is a component of the anthracycline class of antineoplastics, linked to a derivative of naphthacene. It is a component of birch juice.

Chemical propeties:

soluble in water. This deoxy sugar responds whith polymers like Cellulose and lignin if it is in excess. So sollection of birch juice is very helpful for birch
