Abstract
An original synthetic approach to the disaccharide allolactose (1) starting from the natural glycoside amygdalin (2) has been developed. The disaccharidic gentiobiose unit present in 2 has been transformed into the allolactose moiety using a four step protocol based on the selective inversion of the C-4′ OH. The efficient removal of the natural benzylic aglycone (a mandelonitrile moiety) was accomplished by catalytic transfer hydrogenolysis. The behavior of allolactose with different enzymes is also described.
