The transesterification of D-allose (the C-3 epimer of D-glucose) with vinyl octanoate using Candida antarctica lipase in tetrahydrofuran proceeded with high regioselectivity to produce 6-O-octanoyl-D-allose with nearly complete conversion. The growth-inhibiting activity of 6-O-octanoyl-D-allose on lettuce seedlings was about 6-fold greater than that of D-allose.
