ChemInform Abstract
In the presence of pronase (mixture of proteases from Streptomyces griseus), aliphatic diols undergo acylation to afford monoacetates with exception of propane-1,3-diol, which yields the mono- and diacetate. Starting from cyclohexanediols optically active monoacetates are obtained. Glucose and isomeric hexoses are regioselectively converted into 6-O-acetates, while 6-deoxy sugars provide mixtures of monoacetates.
