The hydrolyses of aryl alpha-glucosides of N-acetylneuraminic acid proceed by four processes: (i) the H3O+-catalyzed hydrolysis of the neutral molecule; (ii) the H3O+-catalyzed hydrolysis of the anion (the kinetically equivalent neutral hydrolysis of the neutral molecule being ruled out by a small solvent isotope effect and beta1g values close to zero); (iii) the spontaneous hydrolysis of the anion; (iv) a base-catalyzed process possibly involving nucleophilic attack of the ionized C9-OH at position 6. Secondary deuterium kinetic isotope effects (d2, pro-R, and d1, pro-S, at C3; d1 at C4) have been measured for the p-nitrophenyl glycoside undergoing processes i-iii by the isotopic quasi-racemate method, with the p-nitrophenyl L-N-acetylneuraminide being made by the Vasella route from L-glucose (Helv. Chim. Acta 1986, 69, 1172, 1191, and 1205). The effects support a flattened C-2(5) ring conformation for these processes and require some nucleophilic assistance by the C1 carboxylate group for processes ii and iii, despite the strained alpha-lactone ring that results. The implications for catalysis by sialidases and retaining glycosidases such as lysozyme are discussed.
