RESUMO
A condensation reaction between N-acetyllactosamine and glycerol was directly catalyzed by using a commercially available cellulase preparation from Trichoderma reesei. 1-O-beta-N-Acetyllactosaminyl-(R, S)-glycerols (1) were readily synthesized in a 5% yield based on the N-acetyllactosamine added and conveniently isolated by two-step column chromatographies. The use of a partially purified enzyme increased 2.3-fold the yield of 1, compared to that of the crude enzyme containing beta-D-galactosidase activity. When various alkanols (n:2-4) were used in the condensation reaction, the corresponding alkyl beta-N-acetyllactosaminides were obtained in yields of 0.3-1.1% of the desired compounds.

Condensation reaction between lactose and glycerol was effectively catalyzed by utilizing a commercially available cellulase preparation from Trichoderma reesei. The enzyme induced the formation of 1-O-beta-lactosyl-(R,S)-glycerol (1) and 2-O-beta-lactosyl glycerol (2) in a molar ratio of 7:3 and in a 20% yield based on lactose added. The enzyme also induced the condensation of lactose with 1,3-propanediol to produce O-beta-lactosyl propanediol (3) in a yield of 15%. When various alkanols (N: 2-8) and allyl alcohol were used in the condensation reaction, the corresponding alkyl and allyl beta-lactoside were obtained in the yields of 0.9-3.8% of the desired compounds.
