To determine the structural specificity of the glycosyl acceptor of the transglycosylation reaction using endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) (EC 3.2.1.96) from Mucor hiemalis (Endo-M), several acceptor derivatives were designed and synthesized. The narrow regions of the 1,3-diol structure from the 4- to 6-hydroxy functions of GlcNAc were found to be essential for the transglycosylation reaction using Endo-M. Furthermore, it was determined that Endo-M strictly recognizes a 1,3-diol structure consisting of primary and secondary hydroxyl groups.

The absolute configuration of 1,2,3-prim,sec,sec-triols can be assigned by comparison of the 1H NMR spectra of the tris-(R)- and the tris-(S)-MPA ester derivatives. An experimental demonstration of this correlation with 24 triols of known absolute configuration and a protocol using two parameters-ΔδRS(H3) and the difference between ΔδRS(H2) and ΔδRS(H3) = |Δ(ΔδRS)|-for its application to the determination of the absolute configuration of other triols are presented.
The asymmetric dihydroxylation of cis-allylic and homoallylic alcohols

The asymmetric dehydroxylation of several cis allylic alcohols is reported. The reactions proceed with moderate to good enantioselectivity. The enhanced enantioselection observed relative to other cis-olefin classes is believed to be dependent on the presence of the free hydroxyl group. A cis-homoallylic alcohol also gave a useful level of enantioselection in the AD.
Synthesis of Saccharides and Related Polyhydroxylated Natural Products. 1. Simple Alditols
Katsuki, T.,Lee, A. W. M.,Ma, P.,Martin, V. S.,Masamune, S.,et al.
, p. 1373 - 1378 (2007/10/02)
A new approach to sugar synthesis is demonstrated through syntheses of tetritols, pentitols, and hexitols; titanium-catalyzed asymmetric epoxidation and a new selective opening reaction of 2,3-epoxy alcohols play essential roles.
