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 --> Gln mutant of Leuconostoc mesenteroides sucrose phosphorylase. Temporary accumulated regio-isomeric mono-O-acyl D-glucoses are identified, characterized, and quantified directly from the reaction mixture. Time courses of the transformations give insight into pH dependence of acyl group migration and mutarotation as well as into the stability of various regioisomers.
