One-Pot Hetero-Di-C-Glycosylation of the Natural Polyphenol Phloretin by a Single C-Glycosyltransferase With Broad Sugar Substrate Specificity. [PDF]
Here, an efficient system for synthesizing high‐value polyphenol hetero‐di‐C‐glycosides with two distinct C‐glycosyl residues was established using a two‐step glycosylation catalyzed by C‐glycosyltransferase in one pot. The desired C‐β‐galactosyl‐C‐β‐glucosyl and C‐β‐glucosyl‐C‐β‐xylosyl phloretin were obtained at concentrations of 0.6 and 6 g/L ...

Summary Xyloglucan is an abundant polysaccharide in many primary cell walls and in the human diet. Decoration of its α‐xylosyl sidechains with further sugars is critical for plant growth, even though the sugars themselves vary considerably between species. Plants in the Ericales order – prevalent in human diets – exhibit β1,2‐linked xylosyl decorations.
