2-O-Acetyl-D-glucose was synthesized in order to evaluate the influence of an acyl group on the binding with the glucose carrier protein (GluT); as its affinity neighbours that of glucose itself, the glucose forskolin analogy appears to be coincidental and several explanations are proposed.

Acetyl and formyl group migration, mutarotation, and hydrolysis of mono-O-acylated glucose are studied by in situ 1D and 2D (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Alpha-D-glucosyl-1-acetate and alpha-D-glucosyl-1-formate serve as sole starting materials. They are generated in situ by configuration retaining glucosyltransfer from alpha-D-glucosyl-1-phosphate to formate and acetate, which is catalyzed by the Glu-237

Unprotected sugars are selectively acetylated simply by stirring in aqueous solution in the presence of acetic anhydride and a weak base such as sodium carbonate. The reaction is selective for acetylation of the anomeric hydroxyl group of mannose, 2-acetamido, and 2-deoxy sugars and can be performed on a large scale. Competitive intramolecular migration of the 1-O-acetate to the 2-hydroxyl group when
