L-(-)-sucrose was efficiently synthesized using intramolecular aglycon delivery and used to elucidate osmotic effects on the activity of invertase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of D-(+)-sucrose. The osmotic effect imposed by L-sucrose was responsible for more than 30% of the activity loss ascribed otherwise to "substrate inhibition."
