3,4'-Dihydroxypropiophenone 3-β-D-glucopyranoside (1a) has been synthesized, without having recourse to any protective group technology, by transglucosylation catalyzed by lactase from Kluyveromyces lactis. Key words: Antifeedant; Betula platyphylla; β-D-glucopyranoside; lactase; transglucosylation.

Enzymes as well as yeasts were used in enantioselective syntheses of bioregulators such as hormones and semiochemicals.Lipases and esterases were employed in achieving optical resolution, conversion of meso-compounds to optically active compounds, and macrolactonization.Lactase effected glucosidation of a phenolic hydroxy ketone without any protection of the functional groups.Yeasts provided a variety of optically active hydroxy esters and ketones, which served as versatile non-racemic chiral building blocks.
