Fit for industry: Stereochemically pure 2-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol (αGG) was obtained in high yield from an efficient and selective biocatalytic process (see schematic outline). The sucrose phosphorylase catalyzed transfer of a glucosyl group from sucrose to glycerol unites the main advantages of transglycosidases, glycosyltransferases, and glycosynthases for glycoside synthesis and provides access to αGG as an industrial chemical.
