AbstractA regioselective synthesis of 6′‐O‐acyl sucrose monoesters has been developed through the lipase‐catalyzed esterification of sucrose acetals with fatty acids in both organic solvents and under solvent‐free conditions. The products were obtained in overall yields of 20–27% after hydrolysis of the isopropylidene groups with aqueous acids. The strict selectivity of the enzymes used also enabled the preparation of a monoester fraction that was highly enriched in 6‐O‐acyl sucrose. This was accomplished by lipase‐catalyzed transesterification of sucrose monoesters, prepared by conventional chemical methods, in propan‐2‐ol. After removal of the transesterification products (sucrose and fatty acid isopropyl esters) and column chromatography on silica gel, the obtained monoester product contained 80% of the single regioisomer, 6‐O‐acyl sucrose.
摘要 在有机溶剂和无溶剂条件下,通过脂肪酶催化蔗糖乙醛与脂肪酸的酯化反应,开发了一种 6′-O-酰基蔗糖单酯的区域选择性合成方法。用水溶液酸水解异亚丙基后,产品的总产率为 20-27%。所使用酶的严格选择性还使得制备单酯部分成为可能,该部分高度富含 6-O-酰基蔗糖。这是通过脂肪酶催化蔗糖单酯在丙-2-醇中的酯交换反应实现的,蔗糖单酯是用传统化学方法制备的。在去除酯交换产物(蔗糖和脂肪酸异丙酯)并在硅胶上进行柱层析后,得到的单酯产物中含有 80% 的单一 Regioisomer(6-O-acyl sucrose)。
