Enantioselective glucosylation of (±)-secondary alcohols with plant glucosyltransferases
摘要:
Two glucosyltransferases were isolated from plant cell cultures of Catharanthus roseus and Nicotiana tabacum. The enzyme from C roseus enantioselectively glucosylated (+/-)-secondary alcohols to give the glucosides of (R)-alcohols, while the glucosylation with that from N. tabacum gave preferentially the glucosides of (S)-alcohols.

The synthesis of (2‐nitrophenyl)acetyl (NPAc)‐protected glucosyldonors is described that were designed for the neighboring‐group assisted glucosylation of base‐labilenaturalproducts also being sensitive to hydrogenolysis. Glycosylation conditions were optimized using a trichloroacetimidate glucosyldonor, and cyclohexylmethanol and (+)‐menthol as model acceptors. The approach was then extended to
