Partially protected monosaccharides with free anomeric hydroxyl groups are useful in the synthesis of oligosaccharides [ l-31. A number of chemical methods are reported to remove the anomeric acyl group of peracylated carbohydrates [ 4-61, providing a useful route to partially protected saccharides [ 7,8]. Enzymatic reactions have also been used for this purpose [ 9-231. According to previous r...

The possible involvement of mutarotases in glucose metabolism has been studied by examining the anomeric specificities of a number of glycolytic enzymes. Hexokinases from yeast or Ehrlich ascites tumor cells showed only a marginal preference for the cx anomer of glucose. (All configurations, unless otherwise specified, refer to the D configuration of glucose and its derivatives.) The K, values ...

The block-localized wave function (BLW) method, which can derive optimal electron-localized state with intramolecular electron delocalization completely deactivated, has been combined with the polarizable continuum model (PCM) to probe the variation of the anomeric effect in solution. Currently both the hyperconjugation and electrostatic models have been called to interpret the anomeric effect ...

A method for the investigation of the influence of protecting groups on the anomeric equilibrium in the sialic acid glycosides has been developed on the basis of the equilibration of O-sialyl hydroxylamines by reversible homolytic scission of the glycosidic bond following the dictates of the Fischer-Ingold persistent radical effect. It is found that a trans-fused 4O,5N-oxazolidinone group stabi...

Ab initio HF/6-31G* Methode was employed to calculate the bond length in 2- phosphinanes when electronegative groups was at C-2 tend axial and equatorial positions. The magnitude of the anomeric effect depends on the nature of the substituent, the effect of the substituent can be seen by comparing the bond length in 2-chloro and 2- boromo substituented phosphinanes. The effect of anomeric effec...

Rotational coordinates about the C(3)–O(4) bonds of 2,4-dioxaheptane (DOH) and 2,4,6-trioxaheptane (TOH) are compared at correlated levels of electronic structure theory for gauche and trans orientations of the O(2)–C(3) bonds. TOH has overlapping anomeric effects, while DOH does not. The overlapping stereoelectronic effect shows its largest impact on the length of the O(2)–C(3) bond, which is ...

A simple synthetic route has been devised for the production of coating agents that can give multivalent displays of saccharides on the surface of magnetite nanoparticles and phospholipid vesicles. A versatile and potentially high-throughput condensation reaction allowed the rapid synthesis of a variety of glycosylhydrazide conjugates with lipid, resorcinol or catechol termini, each in good yie...
