Abstract

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