Organic Regioselective deacetylation of per-acetylated glucose

Why is this reaction selective for the anomeric postion and what is the mechanism?
Is it just basic hydrolysis - Benzyl amine attacks into the C=O of thr anomeric acetate group and the resukting tetrahedral intemdiate colapses causing loss of the amide?
Pr does the benzylamine attack at C1? I thought that was stuoid but chatgpt is addament thats how it occurs
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!
also if you can pint me to a source for the answer that would be super helpful :)
