    Journal of Molecular Catalysis B-enzymatic, 2006
    Co-Authors: Hiroyuki Akita, Eiji Kawahara, Masashi Kishida, Keisuke Kato
    Abstract:

    Abstract For the purpose of synthesis of naturally occurring β- d -Glucopyranoside, direct β-glycosidation for seven kinds of the functionalized primary alcohol in the presence of d -glucose using native or immobilized β-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) from almonds under equilibrium condition was carried out. The utilization of high concentration of the alcohol acceptor, 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol ( 3 ) or 2-methyl-2-propen-1-ol ( 4 ) using the immobilized enzyme gave the corresponding β- d -Glucopyranoside ( 21 , natural product) or ( 22 ) in 65 or 51% yield, respectively. On the other hand, the utilization of 4-equivalents of the functionalized alcohols ( 5 – 9 ) using the immobilized enzyme in 90% tert -butanol/H 2 O solution afforded the naturally occurring β- d -Glucopyranosides ( 23 – 27 ), respectively, in moderate yield. Among them, five kinds of β- d -Glucopyranosides ( 21 , 22 , 24 , 25 , and 27 ) were converted into the cyanoglucosides (rhodiocyanoside A ( 28 ), osmaronin ( 29 )) and other naturally occurring β- d -Glucopyranosides ( 30 – 32 ), respectively.

  • simple preparation of phenylpropenoid β d Glucopyranoside congeners by mizoroki heck type reaction using organoboron reagents
    Tetrahedron, 2005
    Co-Authors: Masashi Kishida, Hiroyuki Akita
    Abstract:

    Palladium(II)-catalyzed carbon–carbon bond formation between allyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-Glucopyranoside (3) and arylboronic acid congeners gave the corresponding cinnamyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl- β-d-Glucopyranosides (4a–m) in good yield. Among them, coupling products 4a–m were converted to not only the naturally occurring phenylpropenoid β-d-Glucopyranoside analogues (1a–e) but also the unnaturally ones (1f–m).

  • Enzymatic β-glycosidation of primary alcohols
    Journal of Molecular Catalysis B-enzymatic, 2003
    Co-Authors: Katsumi Kurashima, Mikio Fujii, Yoshiteru Ida, Hiroyuki Akita
    Abstract:

    For the purpose of finding the best reaction conditions of β-glucosidation of primary alcohols, screening experiments in respect of the enzymes, glycosyl donors and solvents were carried out. The effective enzyme and glycosyl donor for the synthesis of benzyl β-d-Glucopyranoside (4) appeared to be β-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) from almonds and 4-nitrophenyl β-d-Glucopyranoside (7), respectively. Enzymatic glycosidation of 10 kinds of primary alcohols (methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol, n-hexanol, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol, (S)-(−)-perillyl alcohol) gave stereoselectively the corresponding β-d-Glucopyranosides (14–21, 4 and 22) in moderate yield, respectively.

  • Synthesis and properties of sugar-based surfactants alkoxyethyl β-D-Glucopyranoside
    Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 2019
    Co-Authors: Wangzhen Shen, Yanhua Zhang, Langqiu Chen, Yulin Fan, Guoyong Chen
    Abstract:

    Abstract Alkyl glycosides as modern industrial manufactured products are important. Furthermore, the better water solubility should make them a greater potential application value. In this study, an improvement of water solubility has been realized by adding the oxyethene fragment (−OCH2CH2 ) as a hydrophilic spacer to the conventional alkyl glucoside structure, and the excellent surface properties of the alkyl glucoside were still maintained. The amphipathic properties of the prepared alkoxyethyl β-D-Glucopyranoside can be adjusted by the alkyl chain length (n). Alkoxyethyl β-D-Glucopyranosides were found to be water soluble with n ≤ 10. For both of CMC and γCMC, there was a monotonous decreasing trend with increasing the alkyl chain length. Such amphipathic molecules adsorbed preferentially on the solution surface and then formed spontaneously micelles in the aqueous solution by the hydrophobic effect. Nonyloxylethyl β-D-Glucopyranoside exhibited the finest foaming property, as well as the strongest emulsifying capacities in the rapeseed oil/water system and the toluene/water system. In addition, alkoxylethyl β-D-Glucopyranoside (n = 9–14) had thermotropic liquid crystal property and thermal stability below 230 °C. Alkoxyethyl β-D-Glucopyranoside, as a class of sugar-based surfactants, will be expected to be developed in a variety of practical application.

  • Thermotropic phase behavior and surface-active properties of alkoxyethyl α-d-Glucopyranoside
    Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2018
    Co-Authors: Yanhua Zhang, Langqiu Chen, Yulin Fan
    Abstract:

    Abstract To overcome the inherent weakness of the traditional alkyl α- d -Glucopyranoside in water solubility and surface activity, a series of sugar-based surfactants alkoxyethyl α- d -Glucopyranosides were successfully synthesized by introducing an oxyethene spacer ( OCH2CH2 ). Herein, their thermotropic liquid crystalline and surface-active properties were investigated using DSC, POM and other methods. The phase transition temperature increased with increasing the alkyl chain length, meanwhile all glycosides were found to form the smectic phase since there was the typical focal-comic fan texture during cooling. Moreover, alkoxyethyl α- d -Glucopyranosides had better water solubility and finer surface activity than that of the traditional alkyl α- d -Glucopyranosides without an oxyethene fragment. Furthermore, the HLB number, solubility, CCMC value, γCMC value and Γmax value of alkoxyethyl α- d -Glucopyranoside had a tendency to decrease with increasing the alkyl chain length, whereas the logP value, πCMC value, Αmin value and pC20 value showed the opposite trend with increasing the alkyl chain length. In addition, decyloxyethyl α- d -Glucopyranoside showed the strongest emulsifying activity in n-octane/water system and rapeseed oil/water system, and it also had the best foaming properties. Therefore, an effective introduction of an oxyethyl fragment as a hydrophilic spacer indeed made an excellent contribution to improve water solubility and surface activity.

  • Synthesis and properties of alkoxyethyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-Glucopyranoside
    Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2017
    Co-Authors: Wangzhen Shen, Langqiu Chen, Yanhua Zhang
    Abstract:

    Abstract A class of novel sugar-based surfactants named alkoxyethyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-Glucopyranosides were constructed by the introduction of oxyethene fragment (-OCH2CH2-) in the traditional alkyl glycoside structure. Such alkoxyethyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-Glucopyranosides with different length of alkyl chain were synthesized, and their single configurations were confirmed to be α-anomer by 1H NMR and HRMS analysis. Their water solubility, surface tension, emulsification, foaming and thermal stability were investigated, and the effect of alkyl chain length on their surface property was also compared. The water solubility of alkoxyethyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-Glucopyranoside was significantly superior to that of alkyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-Glucopyranoside without an oxyethene fragment. Their dissolution process was an endothermic process and was driven by entropy increment as well. Alkoxyethyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-Glucopyranoside was disclosed to reduce significantly the surface tension of water. For both of CMC and γCMC, there was a decreasing trend with increasing of alkyl chain length. As increasing of alkyl chain length, the maximum surface adsorption (Γmax) increased and the molecular cross-sectional area (Amin) decreased. They adsorbed preferentially on the solution surface and then formed spontaneously micelles in solution by the hydrophobic effect. Nonyloxyethyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-Glucopyranoside had the best foaming and emulsifying properties. All glycosides are thermally stable below 270 °C. In view of the improvement of the water solubility and maintainance of surface activity with the introduction of the hydrophilic spacer, the novel alkoxyethyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-Glucopyranoside should be expected to develop further its multiple applications as a class of novel water-soluble sugar-based surfactants in the future.

  • Anthocyanin trisaccharides in blue berries of Vaccinium padifolium
    Food Chemistry, 2000
    Co-Authors: Luis Cabrita, Nils Åge Frøystein, Oyvind M Andersen
    Abstract:

    Delphinidin 3-O-a-rhamnoside, malvidin 3-O-(6 00 -O-a-rhamnopyranosyl-b-Glucopyranoside) and the 3-O-(6 00 -O-a-rhamnopyranosyl-2 00 -O-b-xylopyranosyl-b-Glucopyranosides) of cyanidin, petunidin and peonidin were isolated by various chromatographic techniques from the edible berries of Vaccinium padifolium. Their complete structures were elucidated mainly by one- and twodimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Together they account for 7% of the anthocyanin content in this species. No anthocyanidin 3-triglycoside, 3-rutinoside or 3-rhamnoside had previously been found in the genus Vaccinium. The 3-O-(6 00 -O-arhamnopyranosyl-2 00 -O-b-xylopyranosyl-b-Glucopyranosides) of petunidin and peonidin are novel compounds. # 2000 Elsevier
