Simple method for high purity acylated steryl glucosides synthesis

Abstract

The present work covers an important gap in the field of analytic standards synthesis of the plants minor component, the acyl steryl glucosides (ASG). A simple and powerful procedure that allows the synthesis of different ASG has been introduced. The regioselective acylation of steryl glucosides on the C-6-OH of the glucose was produced using sym-chollidine and acyl chloride. The reaction was optimized analyzing the conditions to maximize the isolated yield of the mono acylated product.
