Abstract:Glucan oligomers are unique chemicals with versatile value-added applications in agriculture and healthcare depending on their specific glycosidic linkages. Glucose glycosylation shows high efficiency in glucan oligomer production, but the formed glycosidic bonds are generally random, which limits its application. To address this issue, we employed an unacidified molten salt hydrate (MSH) of LiBr•3.2H 2 O as the reaction medium and glucose/disaccharides as the substrate. Results showed that a 66.6% yield of gl… Show more
