Abstract:
1. A method of preparing a compound of formula (I): wherein: a first group selected from R 1 , R 2 and R 3 is an amino- or N-acylamino monosaccharide moiety, the acyl moiety of the N-acylamino group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or an oligosaccharide chain consisting of 2 to 4 monosaccharide moieties, at least one of which is an amino- or N-acylamino hexose moiety as defined above; a second group selected from R 1 , R 2 and R 3 is a alkanoyl and alkenoyl acyl group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms; and a third group selected from R the method comprising contacting a monoacylglycerol, the acyl moiety thereof being a alkanoyl and alkenoyl acyl group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms, or an activated derivative thereof, with a source of amino- or N-acylamino monosaccharide moiety, or an activated derivative thereof, and, if required, a source of unsubstituted monosaccharide moiety, or an activated derivative thereof, optionally in the presence of a suitable catalyst or activating agent, wherein the catalyst or activating agent is a transglycosidase enzyme.
