Several promoters were used in the Koenigs-Knorr synthesis of the title alkyl β-D-galactopyranosides, both in their diastereoisomeric forms (5a/5b and 6a/6b), resulting from the synthesis performed with the respective racemic cis and trans isomers of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexan-1-ol, and in their enantiomerically pure forms 5a and 6a, starting only from the (1S,2S)- and (1S,2R)-enantiomers of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexan-1-ol. The aim of the study was to find convenient modification(s) of the Koenigs-Knorr synthesis of alkyl β-D-galactopyranosides from more hindered and more complex 2-substituted cycloalkanols. Separation of the diastereoisomeric compounds using HPLC on a chiral Nucleodex-β-OH column was used to obtain small quantities of all possibly existing enantiomerically pure products for unambiguous structure assignment by NMR analysis. The (1S,2S)- and (1S,2R)- enantiomers of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexan-1-ol (1a and 2a) were prepared by a reduction of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexan-1-one with Saccharomyces cerevisiae in enantiomeric purities: ee = 98.5% ((1S,2S)-enantiomer (1a)), and ee ≥ 99% ((1S,2R)-enantiomer (2a)).

Leuconostoc lactis CCK940, which exhibits glycosyltransferase activity, produces oligosaccharides using sucrose and maltose as donor and receptor molecules, respectively. The oligosaccharides produced were purified by Bio-gel P2 chromatography and the purified oligosaccharides (CCK-oligosaccharides) consisted of only glucose. 1H-NMR analysis revealed that the CCK-oligosaccharides were composed of 77.6% α-1,6 and 22.4% α-1,4 glycosidic linkages, and the molecular weight of the CCK-oligosaccharides was found to be 9.42 × 102 Da. To determine the prebiotic effect of the CCK-oligosaccharides, various carbon sources were added in modified media. Growth of six probiotic strains, Lactobacillus casei, L. pentosus, L. plantarum, Weissella cibaria, Bifidobacterim animalis, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was better when the CCK-oligosaccharides were used as the sole carbon source compared to fructo-oligosaccharides, which are widely used as prebiotics. These results showed that the CCK-oligosaccharides produced from Leu. lactis CCK940 could serve as good candidates for novel prebiotics.
