Abstract: | Benzyl 2, 3, 6-tri-O-acetyl-4-O-(2,3-di-O-acetyl-4,6-di-O-methylsulfonyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl)-β-d-glucopyranoside (VI) was prepared from α-cellobiose octaacetate. Displacement of the sulfonyl esters of VI with acyloxy-groups in N, N-dimethyl formamide in the presence of sodium benzoate gave 4-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl-d-glucopyranose derivative (lactose derivative). Elimination of blocking groups of the derivative yielded lactose hydrate (IX), though the overall yield of lactose from cellobiose octaacetate was less than 2%. |
