Described herein is the selective reduction of sugars with hydrosilanes catalyzed by using Piers’ borane [(C6F5)2BH] generated in situ. The hydrosilylative C?O bond cleavage of silyl-protected mono- and disaccharides in the presence of a (C6F5)2BH catalyst, generated in situ from (C6F5)2BOH, takes place with excellent chemo- and regioselectivities to provide a range of polyols. A study of the substituent effects of sugars on the catalytic activity and selectivity revealed that the steric environment around the anomeric carbon (C1) is crucial.

A new strategy for diversity-oriented direct glycosylation of bioactive small molecules was developed. This reaction features (-)-β-pinene as acid scavenger and work with glycosyl iodides under mild conditions. With the aid of RP-HPLC and chiral SFC separation techniques, the new direct glycosylation proved effective at gram scale on bioactive small molecules including AZD6244, podophyllotoxin, paclitaxel, and docetaxel. Interesting glycoside derivatives were efficiently created with good yields and 1,2-cis selectivity.

A strain of Arthrobacter sp. DL001 with high transglycosylation activity was successfully isolated from the Yellow Sea of China. To purify the extracellular enzyme responsible for transglycosylation, a four-step protocol was adopted and the enzyme with electrophoretical purity was obtained. The purified enzyme has a molecular mass of 210 kDa and displays a narrow hydrolysis specificity towards α-1,4-glucosidic bond. Its hydrolytic activity was identified as decreasing in the order of maltotriose > panose > maltose. Only 3.61% maltose activity occurs when p-nitrophenyl α-d-glycopyranoside serves as a substrate, suggesting that this enzyme belongs to the type II α-glucosidase. In addition, the enzyme was able to transfer glucosyl groups from the donors containing α-1,4-glucosidic bond specific to glucosides, xylosides and alkyl alcohols in α-1,4- or α-1,6-manners. A decreased order of activity was observed when maltose, maltotriose, panose, β-cyclodextrin and soluble starch served as glycosyl donors, respectively. When maltose was utilized as a donor and a series of p-nitrophenyl-glycosides as acceptors, the glucosidase was capable of transferring glucosyl groups to p-nitrophenyl-glucosides and p-nitrophenyl-xylosides in α-1,4- or α-1,6-manners. The yields of p-nitrophenyl-oligosaccharides could reach 42-60% in 2 h. When a series of alkyl alcohols were utilized as acceptors, the enzyme exhibited its transglycosylation activities not only to the primary alcohols but also to the secondary alcohols with carbon chain length 1-4. Therefore, all the results indicated that the purified α-glucosidase present a useful tool for the biosynthesis of oligosaccharides and alkyl glucosides.
