Direct β-glucosidation between geranyl alcohol and D-glucose (4) using the immobilized β-glucosidase from almonds with the synthetic prepolymer ENTP-4000 gave geranyl O-β-D-glucoside (1) in 11% yield. The coupling of the geranyl O-β-D-glucopyranoside congener (7) with 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-α-D-xylopyranoside bromide (8) or 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-α-L-arabinopyranosyl bromide (10) afforded the coupled products (9 and 11), respectively. Deprotection of the coupled products (9 and 11) using MeONa in MeOH-THF gave the synthetic geranyl 6-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (2) and geranyl 6-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (Kenposide A, 3).

Two general synthetic routes were established in order to synthesize two diglycosides, primeverosides (1) and vicianosides (2), found in tea leaves. Procedure 1 is based on the Koenig-Knorr type of condensation of aglycon alcohols and 1-α-bromohexabenzoylprimeverose (6) and is suitable for the condensation of primary alcohols. Procedure 2 is to combine tribenzoyl-β-D-glucoside (8) and 1-α-bromotribenzoylxylose (4). The primeveroside of a tertiary alcohol was synthesized by this method which is also applicable to the synthesis of vicianosides. The hydrolysis rate of each of the 12 synthesized glycosides by a crude tea enzyme was evaluated, which suggest that the main glycosidase is primeverosidase and the enzyme mixture shows substrate specificity to both the carbohydrate and aglycon moieties.
