Transglucosylation activities of spinach alpha-glucosidase I and IV, which have different substrate specificity for hydrolyzing activity, were investigated. In a maltose mixture, alpha-glucosidase I, which has high activity toward not only maltooligosaccharides but also soluble starch and can hydrolyze isomaltose, produced maltotriose, isomaltose, and panose, and alpha-glucosidase IV, which has high activity toward maltooligosaccharides but faint activity toward soluble starch and isomaltose, produced maltotriose, kojibiose, and 2,4-di-alpha-D-glucosyl-glucose. Transglucosylation to sucrose by alpha-glucosidase I and IV resulted in the production of theanderose and erlose, respectively, showing that spinach alpha-glucosidase I and IV are useful to synthesize the alpha-1,6-glucosylated and alpha-1,2- and 1,4-glucosylated products, respectively.
First direct glycosylation of unprotected nonreducing mono- and disaccharides

The first single-step random-glycosylation methodology for fully unprotected glycosyl acceptors is reported by random glycosylation leading to all possible regioisomers. For such systems conventional glycosylation methods such as Koenigs-Knorr glycosylation, Schmidt's trichloroacetimidate glycosylation and reactions employing glycosyl fluoride donors fail entirely. Starting from unprotected nonreducing saccharides, the glycosylation of β-glucosylated and β-galactosylated monosaccharides (Glc, Gal), symmetric disaccharides (e.g. α,α-trehaloses) as well as unsymmetric disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) were studied. The influence of base type and concentration were examined. Several libraries of di- and trisaccharides were generated. All regioisomers were formed in approximately equal proportions, and their partial separation was achieved by flash column chromatography. Even though it appears that overall yields are lower when comparing to classical protecting-group chemistry, this synthetic effort may be superior especially for access to higher saccharides.
