A compound used in the conventional enzymatic reactions and mass spectrometry methods needs to be altered with respect to the structure thereof as a substrate compound, such as the length of an alkyl chain contained therein, depending on the type of a target enzyme, and therefore has the problem that the conditions for the mass spectrometry on a product compound are undesirably varied and the sensitivity is deteriorated. In the present invention, a compound is provided, which can be used in an enzymatic reaction and a microanalysis method both for detecting a trace component stably and with high sensitivity. The compound according to the present invention is characterized by having a nitrogen atom, an amide bond and a glycosidic bond at specific sites, respectively, has high reactivity with an enzyme, and can provide a compound capable of being detected very easily with a mass spectrometer.
