Abstract
Fischer glycosidation of D-glucose and n-butanol has been carried out successfully using different acid zeolites as catalysts. Both butylglu cofuranoside and pyranoside are obtained during reaction. It has been found that large pore tridirectional zeolites with high Si/Al ratios s uch as faujasite and beta are the most suitable catalysts. The influen ce of the molar ratio alcohoyl/D-glucose on the selectivity to alkylmo nosaccharide has been also studied. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
