The synthesis of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-6-O-octanoyl-D-glucono-1,5-lactone 9 and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-6-O-octanoyl-alpha-D-glueopyranose 7 from 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranose is reported. For both targets, the key intermediate was allyl 2-acetamido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-6-O-octanoyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside 5. Surface tension measurements (critical micellar concentration of 22.3 mM and 5 mM for 9 and 7, respectively) showed up the surface activity of both compounds, while enzyme inhibition assays indicated that 9 could inhibit bovine beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (K-i = 6.5 mu M) but not Serratia marcescens chitobiase nor hen egg-white lysozyme. Moreover, 7 was shown to induce chitinase production of S. marcescens and to be readily metabolized by these bacteria.[GRAPHICS]
