Micellar effect on the direct Fischer synthesis of alkyl glucosides
This manuscript presents results from the investigation on the synthesis of alkyl glucosides by the novel, very efficient and environmentally friendly protocol of the Fischer-type synthesis from unprotected glucose and aliphatic alcohols. The use of the dual functionality catalysts (surfactant + acid catalyst) and micellar reaction system are the main novelty of described method. It has been found, that in developed method of synthesis the reaction of unprotected glucose with aliphatic alcohols carried out with significantly different route, than the normal (classical) route and leads to alkyl glucopyranoside derivatives with high yields. In progress analyses by DLS, HPLC and GC/MS confirm the general postulated pathway of developed method.
