Different ethyl 1-thio-beta-D-disaccharides have been synthesised by t
ransgalactosylation using the beta-galactosidase from Bacillus circula
ns as biocatalyst. This beta-galactosidase shows mainly a beta-1-4 spe
cificity in the galactosyl transfer. Gal-beta-(1-4)-O-beta-D-GlcSEt 15
was obtained in 36% yield, Gal-beta-(1-4)-O-alpha-D-GlcSEt 19 in 30%
yield, Gal-beta-(1-4)-O-beta-D-GalSEt 17 in 60% yield, Gal-beta-(1-4)-
O-beta-D-GalNAcSEt 20 in 49% yield, a-(1-4)-O-beta-D-Gal-beta-(1-4)-O-
beta-D-GalNAcSEt 21 in 9% yield, Gal-beta-(1-6)-O-beta-D-GlcSEt 16 in
3% yield and Gal-beta-(1-3)-O-beta-D-XylSEt 25% yield. (C) 1996 Elsevi
