β-Glucosidase from sweet almond is a retaining, family 1, glycohydrolase. It is known that glycosylation of the enzyme by aryl glucosides occurs with little, if any, acid catalysis. For this reaction both the solvent and α-secondary kinetic isotope effects are 1.0. However, for the deglucosylation reaction (e.g., kcat for 2,4-dinitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside) there is a small solvent deuterium isotope effect of 1.50 (± 0.06) and an α-secondary kinetic isotope effect of 1.12 (± 0.03). For aryl glucosides, kcat/KM is very sensitive to the pKa of the phenol leaving group [βlg - 1; Dale et al., Biochemistry 25 (1986) 2522-2529]. With alkyl glucosides the βlg is smaller (between - 0.2 and - 0.3) but still negative. This, coupled with the small solvent isotope effect on the pH-independent second-order rate constant for the glucosylation of the enzyme with 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-β-glucoside [D2O(kcat/KM) = 1.23 (± 0.04)] suggests that there is more glycone-aglycone bond fission than aglycone oxygen protonation in the transition state for alkyl glycoside hydrolysis. The kinetics constants for the partitioning (between water and various alcohols) of the glucosyl-enzyme intermediate, coupled with the rate constants for the forward (hydrolysis) reaction provide an estimate of the stability of the glucosyl-enzyme intermediate. This is a relatively stable species with an energy about 2 to 4 kcal/mol higher than that of the ES complex.

Anomeric O-arylation and O-hctarylation of tetra-O-bcnzyl-, tetra-O-acctyl-, and O-unprotected glucose (1a-c) can be directly performed with electron dcficienl aromatic and hctcroaromatic systems having fluoro- (2A-2F) or phenylsulfonyl (3B, 3G-3K), respectively, as leaving groups. The reactions were carried out in DMF as solvent at room temperature with NaH as the base; they led in the products 4 to an exchange of the leaving group by the glucopyranosyloxy moicly; mainly β-products were obtained.
