Phosphate Esters. The phosphorylation of sucrose using sodium metaphosphate has been reported (78). Lyoptulization of a sodium metaphosphate solution of sucrose at pH 5 for 20 hours followed by storage at 80°C for five days produced a mixture of sucrose monophosphates. These products were isolated by preparative hplc, with a calculated yield of 27% based on all organic phosphate as sucrose monoesters. Small proportions of glucose and fmctose were also formed. 

The pronounced proclivity of phosphoric monoester monoanions to eliminate POf is not always recognizable from the characteristic pH profile of Fig. 1. The hydrolysis rate maximum at pH w 4 may be masked by a faster reaction of the neutral phosphoric ester, as in the case of a-D-glucose 1-phosphate63) or on hydrolysis of monobenzyl phosphate 64). In the latter case, the known ability of benzyl esters to undergo SN1 and SN2 reactions permits fast hydrolysis of the neutral ester with C/O bond breakage. The fact that the monoanion 107 of the monobenzyl ester is hydrolyzed some 40 times faster than the monoanion 108 of the dibenzyl ester at the same pH again evidences the special hydrolysis pathway of 107, rationalized by means of the metaphosphate hypothesis. 

Because the metabolism of DEHP was catalyzed by so many fractions of the trout liver homogenate, these fractions were characterized by measurement of marker enzymes to determine which organelles actually were responsible for the observed DEHP metabolism. Succinic dehydrogenase activity was used as a marker for mitochondria, whereas glucose-6-phosphatase was used as a marker for microsomes. The distribution of DEHP oxidase activity (production of polar metabolites 1 and 2 with added NADPH) and of DEHP esterase activity (production of monoester without added NADPH) were also determined. It was found (Figure 2) that the distribution of DEHP oxidase activity parallels the distribution of microsomal activity and the distribution of DEHP esterase activity parallels the distribution of microsomal activity, but is also present in the cytosol fraction. 

During the dissolution, an intermediate compound between cellulose and TFA is formed, which is described in the literature as an addition compound (II) and as a monoester (12). These compounds should give different theoretical yields—170% for the addition compound and 159% for the monoester (based on cellulose charge)—and different fluorine contents—20.6% and 22.1%, respectively. To check this, a-cellulose and glucose were treated with concentrated TFA at 120°C. After removing the TFA by evaporation, the reaction products were dried carefully at 40°C in vacuo over KOH pellets for 44 hr. The products were weighed and their fluorine contents determined. Another part of the reaction product was treated with water, dried, weighed, and analyzed for fluorine. 

Henkel makes alkyl polyglycoside surfactants from alcohols derived from coconut and palm oils, and glucose derived from cornstarch.277 The preparation can be done with /3-D-glucosidase.278 Sucrose monoesters of long-chain fatty acids can also be made enzymatically.279 A variety of biosurfactants are produced by various organisms that can be grown in culture.280...
