The fluorescence-labeled hexasaccharide (Glcα1-2Glcα1-3Glcα1-3Manα1-2Manα1-2Manα) was synthesized as a substrate for the processing enzyme α-glucosidase I. To construct the 1,2-cis glucosidic linkages, we employed an α stereoselective coupling using the mannosyl donor by assisted neighboring-group participation, followed by conversion of the stereochemistry of the C-2 hydroxyl group in the mannose residue using sequential oxidation of C-2 hydroxyl group to a 2-keto group and stereoselective reduction of the hydroxyl group to the gluco-configuration to provide the corresponding α-glucoside derivative. Using this strategy, the three consecutive α-glucosidic linkages were easily obtained in a stereoselective manner. Finally, the Dansyl labeled hexasaccharide derivative was used to measure the activity of processing α-glucosidase I.
