Activation of reducing sugars in aqueous solution using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC) and triethylamine in the presence of para-nitrophenol allows direct stereoselective conversion to the corresponding 1,2-Trans para-nitrophenyl glycosides without the need for any protecting groups. The reaction is applicable to sulfated and phosphorylated sugars, but not to ketoses or uronic acids or their derivatives. When applied to other phenols the product yield was found to depend on the pKa of the added phenol, and the process was less widely applicable to 2-Acetamido sugars. For 2-Acetamido substrates an alternative procedure in which the glycosyl oxazoline was pre-formed, the reaction mixture freeze-dried, and the crude product then reacted with an added phenol in a polar aprotic solvent system with microwave irradiation proved to be a useful simplification.

A versatile glycosynthase (TnG-E338A) with strikingly broad substrate scope has been developed from Thermus nonproteolyticus β-glycosidase (TnG) by using site-directed mutagenesis. The practical utility of this biocatalyst has been demonstrated by the facile generation of a small library containing various oligosaccharides and a steroidal glycoside (total 25 compounds) in up to 100 % isolated yield. Moreover, an array of eight gluco-oligosaccharides has been readily synthesized by the enzyme in a one-pot, parallel reaction, which highlights its potential in the combinatorial construction of a carbohydrate library that will assist glycomic and glycotherapeutic research. Significantly, the enzyme provides a means by which glycosynthase technology may be extended to combinatorial chemistry.
