Proteinase N-catalysed transesterifications in DMSO–water and DMF–water: preparation of sucrose monomethacrylate
摘要:
The selective acylation of sucrose was catalysed by proteinase N (from Bacillus subtilis) in DMF suspensions, providing 1'-monoesters, and notably, methacryloyl esters. Presence of water up to 7% (vol.) led to faster reactions. Alternatively, a slurry of the enzyme with a minimum volume of DMSO could also be used, despite its ability to denature enzymes.

Crude Proteinase N was used as catalyst for the synthesis of carbohydrate (in particular sucrose) esters by transesterification of activated esters in organic solvents. Polymerisable or amphiphilic sucrose esters (methacrylates and laurates) were obtained regioselectively in good yields. The influence of the reaction parameters (temperature, pH, solvent, chain length, solid support) on the reaction rate, yield and selectivity was studied. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
