title: N-glycosides of nitroaniline as acceptors of glucose in nonphosphorylative transglycosylation reactions.
abstract: N-glycosides of nitroaniline, D-glucose, D-mannose, D-galactose, D-ribose, D-xylose and L-arabinose were examined as acceptors of glucose in transglycosylation reactions. In the presence of these compounds, higher N-glycosides of nitroaniline were formed in the course of incubation of acid glucoamylase with maltose or glycogen. With the exception of N-glycosides of D-galactose and L-arabinose, the remaining compounds were acceptors of glucose. It follows that the acceptor properties of N-glycosides of nitroaniline are dependent on the spatial position of the hydroxyl group on the fourth carbon of the sugar moiety.
