Regioselective acylation of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-manno and galactopyranose catalysed by lipases
摘要:
Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase (Amano) was found to be highly regioselective in the transesterification of 1,6-anhydro-beta-D-manno and galactopyranoses (mannosane curd galactosane respectively) using vinyl acetate as an acyl donor. As in the case of 1,6-anhydro-beta-D-glucopyranose (glucosane), the 4-OH axial group of mannosane is preferred, while the titled lipase catalysed the regioselective transesterification at the 2-axial OH of galactosane. The enzymatic acylation affords monoesters of the 1,6-anhydropyranoses which are difficult to obtain using conventional methods.
