Abstract

Functionalized rare sugars were synthesized with 2-, 3-, and 6-tosylated glucose derivatives as acceptor substrates by transglucosylation with sucrose and the glucansucrase GTFR from Streptococcus oralis. The 2- and 3-tosylated glucose derivatives yielded the corresponding 1,6-linked disaccharides (isomaltose analogues), whereas the 6-tosylated glucose derivatives resulted in 1,3-linked disaccharides (nigerose analogue) with high regioselectivity in up to 95 % yield. Docking studies provided insight into the binding mode of the acceptors and suggested two different orientations that were responsible for the change in regioselectivity.
