Abstract
Alkyl alpha-D-glucopyranosides were selectively converted into their 6 -O-acyl esters by lipase-catalyzed transesterification with ethyl acry late or ethyl 4-chlorobutanoate. Comparison of six lipase preparations showed large differences in activity and selectivity. The addition of zeolite CaA for selective adsorption of ethanol and water, exerted pr ofound effects on conversion and regioselectivity of the transesterifi cation. A quantitative conversion with high selectivity was achieved u sing lipases from C antarctica in the presence of zeolite CaA.
