Selective Acetylation of the Primary Hydroxyl Group in Methyl D-Hexopyranosides with a Mixture of Acetic Anhydride and Acetic Acid

Abstract—: 6-O-Acetylated derivatives of D-hexopyranosides are valuable intermediates in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. We have developed a new simple procedure for selective acetylation of the primary hydroxyl group in methyl D-hexopyranosides consisting in treatment with a mixture of acetic anhydride and acetic acid at 50°C. As a result, corresponding 6-acetates were formed in 40–50% yield.

Regioselective acetylation of carbohydrates and diols catalyzed by tetramethyl-ammonium hydroxide in water

A novel method for an efficient regioselective acetylation of carbohydrates and diols in aqueous solution is described. Treatment of substrates with 1-acetylimidazole, and tetramethyl-ammonium hydroxide (TMAH) in water under mild conditions gave highly regioselective acetylation for primary hydroxyl groups. This discovery provides an eco-friendly way for selective acetylation of non-protected glycosides and diols in water, avoiding the use of toxic organic solvents and the necessity of pre-protection of secondary hydroxyl groups.

Carbohydrate esterases of family 2 are 6-O-deacetylases

Three acetyl esterases (AcEs) from the saprophytic bacteria Cellvibrio japonicus and Clostridium thermocellum, members of the carbohydrate esterase (CE) family 2, were tested for their activity against a series of model substrates including partially acet
