Abstract

The glycosynthase derived from E. coli β-glucuronidase catalyzes the glucuronylation of a range of primary, secondary, and aryl alcohols with moderate to excellent yields. The procedure provides an efficient, stereoselective, and scalable single-step synthesis of β-glucuronides under mild conditions.
