Chemically modified lignins are important for the generation of biomass-derived materials and as precursors to renewable aromatic monomers. A butanol-based organosolv pretreatment has been used to convert an abundant agricultural waste product, rice husks, into a cellulose pulp and three additional product streams. One of these streams, a butanol-modified lignin, was oxidized at the γ position to give a carboxylic acid functionalized material. Subsequent coupling of the acid with aniline aided lignin characterization and served as an example of the flexibility of this approach for grafting side chains onto a lignin core structure. The pretreatment was scaled up for use on a multi-kilogram scale, a development that enabled the isolation of an anomeric mixture of butoxylated xylose in high purity. The robust and scalable butanosolv pretreatment has been developed further and demonstrates considerable potential for the processing of rice husks.

β-Glucosidase from bitter almonds was immobilized on epoxy group-functionalized beads for catalyzing salidroside synthesis in a two-step process with n-butyl-β-D-glucoside (BG) as the glucosyl donor. The formation of salidroside ((0.59 ± 0.02) M) at a yield of 39.04%±1.25% was accomplished in 8 h by the transglucosylation of immobilized β-glucosidase at pH?8.0 and 50 °C when the ratio of BG to tyrosol was 1:2 (mol/mol). A study on the influence of different glycosyl acceptors demonstrated that the yield of the glucosylation reaction of phenylmethanol and cyclohexanol was higher than that of either phenol or cyclohexanol. This may account for the selectivity of the immobilized enzyme towards the alcoholic hydroxyl group of tyrosol in the salidroside synthesis reaction. A study on the synthesis of BG via the reverse hydrolysis of immobilized β-glucosidase showed that a yield of 78.04%±2.2% BG can be obtained with a product concentration of (0.23 ± 0.015) M.

Lewis acid promoted anomerisation has potential in O- or S-glycoside synthesis. Herein, the anomerisation kinetics of thirty-one β-D-glucopyranosides was determined to determine how particular acyl protecting groups and their location influence reactivity towards a Lewis acid promoted reaction. The replacement of acetyl groups with benzoyl groups led to reduced reactivity when located at O-3, O-4 and O-6. However a reactivity increase was observed when the acetyl group was replaced by a benzoyl group at O-2. The 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-(4-methoxy)benzoate had an ～2-fold increase in rate when compared to the tetrabenzoate.
ALKENYL GLYCOSIDES AND THEIR PREPARATION
-
Paragraph 0088, (2014/09/30)
An alkenyl glycoside is prepared by reacting a metathesis-derived unsaturated fatty alcohol containing 10 to 30 carbon atoms with either (1) a reducible monosaccharide or composition hydrolyzable to a reducible monosaccharide, or (2) a hydrocarbyl glycoside produced by reacting an alcohol containing up to 6 carbon atoms with a reducible monosaccharide or composition hydrolyzable to a reducible monosaccharide. Each of these reactions is performed in the presence of an acid catalyst and under conditions sufficient to form the alkenyl glycoside or hydrocarbyl glycoside. The preferred alkenyl glycosides are 9-decen-1-yl glycoside; 9-dodecen-1-yl glycoside; 9-tridecen-1-yl glycoside; 9-pentadecen-1-yl glycoside; 9-octadecen-yl glycoside; or 9-octadecen-1,18-diyl glycoside.

body text, p. 20 - 27 (2012/09/05)
The α-glucosyl transfer enzyme (XgtA), a novel type α-glucosidase produced by Xanthomonas campestris WU-9701, was purified from the cell-free extract and characterized. The molecular weight of XgtA is estimated to be 57 kDa by SDS-PAGE and 60 kDa by gel filtration, indicating that XgtA is a monomeric enzyme. Kinetic properties of XgtA were determined for α-glucosyl transfer and maltose-hydrolyzing activities using maltose as the α-glucosyl donor, and if necessary, hydroquinone as the acceptor. The Vmax value for α-glucosyl transfer activity was 1.3 × 10-2 (mM/s); this value was 3.9-fold as much as that for maltose-hydrolyzing activity. XgtA neither produced maltooligosaccharides nor hydrolyzed sucrose. The gene encoding XgtA that contained a 1614-bp open reading frame was cloned, identified, and highly expressed in Escherichia coli JM109 as the host. Site-directed mutagenesis identified Asp201, Glu270, and Asp331 as the catalytic sites of XgtA, indicating that XgtA belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 13.

A strain of Arthrobacter sp. DL001 with high transglycosylation activity was successfully isolated from the Yellow Sea of China. To purify the extracellular enzyme responsible for transglycosylation, a four-step protocol was adopted and the enzyme with electrophoretical purity was obtained. The purified enzyme has a molecular mass of 210 kDa and displays a narrow hydrolysis specificity towards α-1,4-glucosidic bond. Its hydrolytic activity was identified as decreasing in the order of maltotriose > panose > maltose. Only 3.61% maltose activity occurs when p-nitrophenyl α-d-glycopyranoside serves as a substrate, suggesting that this enzyme belongs to the type II α-glucosidase. In addition, the enzyme was able to transfer glucosyl groups from the donors containing α-1,4-glucosidic bond specific to glucosides, xylosides and alkyl alcohols in α-1,4- or α-1,6-manners. A decreased order of activity was observed when maltose, maltotriose, panose, β-cyclodextrin and soluble starch served as glycosyl donors, respectively. When maltose was utilized as a donor and a series of p-nitrophenyl-glycosides as acceptors, the glucosidase was capable of transferring glucosyl groups to p-nitrophenyl-glucosides and p-nitrophenyl-xylosides in α-1,4- or α-1,6-manners. The yields of p-nitrophenyl-oligosaccharides could reach 42-60% in 2 h. When a series of alkyl alcohols were utilized as acceptors, the enzyme exhibited its transglycosylation activities not only to the primary alcohols but also to the secondary alcohols with carbon chain length 1-4. Therefore, all the results indicated that the purified α-glucosidase present a useful tool for the biosynthesis of oligosaccharides and alkyl glucosides.
Significantly Improved Equilibrium Yield of Long-Chain Alkyl Glucosides via Reverse Hydrolysis in a Water-Poor System Using Cross-Linked Almond Meal as a Cheap and Robust Biocatalyst

An array of ten β-D-glucopyranosides with varied alkyl chain lengths were enzymatically synthesized. It was found that for longer alkyl chains a lower initial rate and final yield of glucoside was obtained except for methyl glucoside because of the severe toxicity of methanol to the enzyme. From a thermodynamics point of view, the equilibrium constant and Gibbs free energy variation of the glucoside syntheses were systematically investigated. To improve the final yields of the glucosides containing long alkyl chains the equilibrium of the enzymatic glucoside synthesis was altered. The equilibrium yield of decyl β-D-glucoside increased from 1.9% to 6.1% when the water content was reduced from 10% to 5% (v/v) using tert-butanol as a cosolvent and 0.10 mol/L of glucose as a substrate. As for the other longer alkyl chain glucosides, heptyl β-D-glucoside was found to have significant surface activity as well.

As for the other longer alkyl chain glucosides, heptyl β-D-glucoside was found to have significant surface activity as well.
