Reaktionsschritte

Methyl-D-glucopyranoside (19.8 g, 0.10 mol, a 1:1 mixture of methyl α-(D)-glucopyranoside and methyl β-(D)-glucopyranoside, both Sigma Chemicals) was esterified with dodecanoic acid (31 g, 0.15 mol) by the procedure described in Example 1, using 3 g of an immobilized lipase (derived from Candida antarctica). The reaction was complete in 24 hours (HPLC showed>90% conversion) and the enzyme was removed by filtration. Purification by chromatography provided the title compound in a yield of 79% (30 g) as a crystalline powder, m,p. 70°-72° C.
