Abstract

Sažetak β-D-Glucopyranosides of pentan-1-ol,(±)-pentan-2-ol, hexan-1-ol, octan-1-ol, benzyl alcohol, 2-phenylethanol,(±)-2-phenyl-propan-1-ol, 3-phenyl-propan-1-ol, geraniol and nerol were synthesized by transglucosylation of the respective alcohols with cellobiose using almond β-glucosidase. The reaction was carried out in acetonitrile with acetate buffer (vol. ratio 9: 1), with the yields 14.4–45.0%. Transglucosylation was not enantioselective. ...
