2-Chloromethyl-4-nitrophenyl α-D-glucopyranoside: an enzyme-activated irreversible inhibitor of yeast α-glucosidase
Abstract
2-Chloromethyl-4-nitrophenyl α-D-glucopyranoside, prepared by a novel, four-step route from 2-methylphenyl α-D-glucopyranoside tetraacetate, is highly effective as an enzyme-activated irreversible inhibitor of yeast α-glucosidase and is much superior in this respect to 2-chloromethylphenyl α-D-glucopyranoside.
