Heptadecyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-b-D-glucopyranoside1g

Heptadecyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-b-D-glucopyranoside is a solubilized ion pair that can be catalysed by amines and immobilized lipase. It is also a hydrophobic fatty acid ester. Heptadecyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-b-D-glucopyranoside is catalyzed by an enzyme, lipase, to form the corresponding amide. This reaction yield is increased in the presence of hexane, which aids in hydrolysis of the ester linkage between heptadecyl and 2,2′-diacetylidenebis(3,4,6,-trimethylphenol). Heptadecyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxyglucopyranoside is used as a substrate for lipases to produce amides from amines. This product has been used in the production of
