GlcNAc (2, 40.4 g, 182.9 mmol) was dissolved in H2O (220 mL) and saturated with NH4HCO3. The conversion of GlcNAc into glucosylamine 3 was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy by comparing anomeric protons. After stirring for 4 days at 35
°C, the conversion reached 86%, and the solution was diluted with H2O (150 mL). The mixture was desalted by AC-220-550 on Asahi Chemical Micro Acylyzer
S3. At the initial stage, the conductivity was 87.8 mS and after the desaltation at
the 15 V (1.07 A), it reached 0.6 mS. NH4HCO3 was estimated to be 5.6 mmol/L based on the calibration linear as described in Figure
[2]
. The yields of 3 and 2 were quantitatively estimated to be 54% and 9%, respectively, by 1H NMR using methyl β-d-glucopyranoside as internal standard. The mixture was frozen and lyophilized to give
a highly hygroscopic white powder (30.1 g). Again at this stage, the amounts of 3 and 2 in the solid were estimated to be 22.3 g (101 mmol) and 3.0 g (14 mmol), respectively.
No decomposition of 3 was observed into 2 and ammonia through the lyophilization. 1H NMR (400 MHz, D2O) δ 4.16 (d, 1 H, J = 9.3 Hz), 3.85 (dd, 1 H, J = 2.1, 12.4 Hz), 3.69 (ddd, 1 H, J = 2.1, 4.6, 12.4 Hz), 3.62 (t, 1 H, J = 9.3 Hz), 3.52 (m, 1 H), 3.55-3.40 (m, 2 H), 2.07 (s, 3 H); 13C NMR (100 MHz, D2O) δ 175.26, 85.01, 77.63, 75.36, 70.90, 61.71, 57.21, 23.21; IR (KBr) 3352, 1652,

Ester 5a was obtained from oxazolidinone 6a
[12]
with sodium isobutoxide. The alkoxide solution prepared from isobutyl alcohol (37.8
mL) and sodium (0.83 g, 36.2 mmol) was added dropwise into the solution of 6a (10.1 g, 36.2 mmol) in isobutyl alcohol (55 mL) at 65 °C with stirring. After the
stirring was continued for 3 h, AcOH (10 g) was added to the reaction mixture. Conventional
work up procedure and subsequent silica gel column chromatography of the residue [CHCl3-MeOH-AcOH (90:3:2)] gave 5a (5.5 g, 47% yield). Recrystallization from n-hexane-Et2O afforded fine colorless needles. Mp 65.0-66.0 °C [lit.

No β-ester was detected. In contrast, the ring-opening reaction
[20]
of a cyclic anhydride of N-Cbz-aspartate with isobutyl alcohol gave a mixture of α-ester and β-ester (ca. 10:1,
δ 3.92 for α-ester and 3.86 for β-ester). Attempts for enzyme-catalyzed selective
hydrolysis
[21]
of diethyl N-Cbz-aspartate or ethyl N-Cbz-asparagine gave no fruitful results, such as the formation of a diacid, or entirely
no reaction.

The coupling product (1c, 200.9 mg, 0.38 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of DMF (2.0 mL) and 0.2 M phosphate
buffer (pH 7.0, 2.0 mL). The pH was adjusted to 7.0 with 2 mol/L HCl, and papain (Sigma,
P3375, 56.4 mg, 107 units) and l-cysteine (11.0 mg, 0.09 mmol) were added. Then the mixture was stirred at 35 °C with
a controlled addition of 0.5 mol/L NaOH to maintain the pH at 7.0. After stirring
for 7 h, the reaction mixture was brought to pH 8.0 with 0.5 mol/L NaOH and then filtered
through a Celite pad and washed with H2O. The filtrate was adjusted to be pH 4.7 by the addition of 2 mol/L HCl, concentrated
in vacuo, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography. Elution
