Abstract:Abstract: To develop a new type of glycoside flavor, firstly, 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide (III) was synthesized from D-glucose. Then, 5-methyl furfuryl alcohol-2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucoside (IV) was prepared via a glycosylation reaction between Compound III and 5-methyl furfuryl alcohol (II) by the Modified Koenigs-Knorr and Phase transfer catalysis, respectively. Finally, the target compound 5-methyl furfuryl alcohol-β-D-glucoside (V) was obtained by hydrolysis of compound IV. The molecular structures of intermediates and final products were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and HRMS. The thermal pyrolysis of glucoside (V) was also studied. The results indicated that: 1) The compound IV synthesized by the two methods was target product, the Modified Koenigs-Knorr method was better than Phase transfer catalysis method. 2) The optimal conditions of the Modified Koenigs-Knorr were determined as follows: n (5-methyl furfuryl alcohol): n (2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide ) = 1∶1.6, n (5-methyl furfuryl alcohol) : n ( silver carbonate ) =1 : 1.5, refluxing for 4 hours, the yield of compound IV reached 42.9% . 3) The synthesized 5-methyl furfuryl alcohol-β-D-glucoside can release 5- methyl furfural,5- methyl furfuryl alcohol and other aromatic components after pyrolysis, thus holding great promise for applications in the food, tobacco industries.
