The synthesis of methyl and allyl 5'-thio-α-D-kojibiosides and methyl 5'-thio-α-D-isomaltoside is described. The phenylselenoglycoside and trichloroacetimidate of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-5-thioglucose have been employed as glycosyl donors to glycosylate glucopyranosyl acceptors with 2-OH and 6-OH positions free. The disaccharides thus obtained are potential glucosidase inhibitors. The conformational preferences of allyl 5'-thiokojibioside (34) were studied by comparison of experimental NOE curves with the theoretical counterparts for the corresponding methyl glycoside 25, derived from a Boltzman-averaged gird search using the program PIMM91. Very good agreement of experimental NOE curves derived from selective NOE measurements with the theoretical curves is found. The data are consistent with the population of a global minimum structure (Φ = 43, Ψ = 39 degrees) to the extent of 90%, and a second local minimum (Φ = 36, Ψ = 173 degrees) to the extent of 6%. An X-ray crystal structure of 34 at 190 K (R = 4.2%) indicates a conformation (Φ = 46, Ψ = 23 degrees) that is similar to that of the global minimum.
