✦ Synopsis
p-Nitrophenyl alpha-maltopentaoside, having a benzyl group on O-6 of the terminal (nonreducing) D-glucosyl group was prepared by use of a reductive ring-opening reaction. Highly regioselective reduction of p-nitrophenyl O-(2,3-di-O-benzoyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1----4)- tris[O-(2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1----4)]-2,3,6-tri- O- benzoyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside by dimethylamine-borane and p-toluenesulfonic acid, followed by debenzoylation, gave p-nitrophenyl O-(6-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1----4)-tris[O-alpha-D-glucopyran osyl- (1----4)]-alpha-D-glucopyranoside. An experiment was done on the mode of action of human pancreatic and salivary alpha amylases on this derivative. The compound is suitable as a substrate for the assay of alpha amylase when used with glucoamylase and alpha-D-glucosidase as coupling enzymes.
