Abstract

Monoglucosylated products of l-chiro-, d-chiro-, muco-, and allo-inositol were synthesized by regioselective α-d-glucosylation with cyclodextrin glucosyl transferase from Thermoanaerobacter sp. after hydrolysis of by products with Aspergillus niger glucoamylase. While the reactions carried out with d-chiro-, muco-, and allo-inositol resulted in the regioselective formation of monoglucosylated products, two products were obtained in the reaction with l-chiro-inositol. Through the structural characterization of the glucosylated inositols here we demonstrated that the selectivity observed in the glucosylation of several inositols by Thermoanaerobacter sp. CGTase, is analogous to the specificity observed for the glucosylation of β-d-glucopyranose and equivalent glucosides.
