Straightforward route for anchoring a glucosyl moiety onto nucleophilic species: reaction of amines and alcohols with carboxymethyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside 2-O-lactone

J Org Chem. 2003 Aug 22;68(17):6672-8. doi: 10.1021/jo0300237.

Abstract

The base-catalyzed reaction of carboxymethyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside 2-O-lactone (prepared from isomaltulose) with amino acids and fatty amines under basic catalysis gave a series of new pseudoglucopeptides, nonionic amphiphiles, and polymerizable derivatives. The same reaction applied to alcohols provided the corresponding 2-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyloxy)acetyl esters with either basic or acidic catalysts.
