A crude preparation of the proteolytic enzyme subtilisin has been used to catalyse the regioselective esterification of sucrose in anhydrous dimethylformamide.In this way 1'-O-sucrose esters bearing acyl groups of different sizes and types have been synthesized.These sucrose derivatives have been hydrolysed by yeast α-glucosidase to the corresponding 1-O-fructose esters, not easily attainable by chemical methods.
