✦ Synopsis


The order of esterification of the eight hydroxyl groups of cu,cY-trehalose is HO-6,6' > HO-2,2' > HO-3,3' > HO-4,4'. Under the appropriate conditions of benzoylation, the heptabenzoate with HO-4' free was obtained in good yield (58%), along with the octabenzoate and the hexabenzoate having HO-4,4' free. The readily isolated heptabenzoate was a convenient starting material for the synthesis of 4-azido-4-deoxy-(84%) and 4-amino-4-deoxyiY-o-galactopyranosyl a-o-glucopyranoside, and the heptabenzoate of a-o-galactopyranosyl a-o-glucopyranoside with HO-4' free, which was used as a synthetic precursor of 4-azido-4-deoxy-a-o-glucopyranosyl cu-o-glucopyranoside and its amino analogue.

4'-Deoxy-a-maltosyl fluoride and 4"-deoxy-a-maltotriosyl fluoride were synthesized to serve as mechanistic probes for a-glucanotransferases such as the glycogen debranching enzyme. The deoxy derivatives were prepared starting from maltose and maltotriose, respectively. Deoxygenation of the terminal
