Abstract

Acylations at the 6-position of alkyl glycosides were obtained using the esterification potential of lipases. Thus, sugars with two alkyl chains result showing columnar discotic phases. The correlation between the configuration of the sugar moieties and the different clearing points can be understood on the basis of simple stereochemical assumptions.
