Lipase-catalyzed synthesis of arbutin cinnamate in an organic solvent and application of transesterification to stabilize plant pigments.
    Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 1997, Volume: 61, Issue:11

    Arbutin cinnamate was synthesized from arbutin (4-hydroxyphenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside) and vinyl cinnamate by regioselective transesterification with a bacterial lipase in acetonitrile. The product was identified by NMR and FAB-MS analyses. These spectra showed that one ester bond was formed between the primary alcohol moiety of the D-glucose of arbutin and the carboxyl residue of cinnamic acid. Furthermore, plant pigments such as isoquercitrin (quercetin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside) and callistephin (pelargonidin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside) were also converted to their corresponding cinnamate esters in the same manner.
