The selective benzoylation of methyl .beta.-lactoside with various proportions of benzoyl chloride in pyridine was studied. The 3',6'-dibenzoate, the 3',6,6'-tribenzoate, the 2,3',6,6'-tetrabenzoate and the 2,2',3',4',6,6'-hexabenzoate have each been isolated, in yields of between 21-31%. The 2,3',4',6,6'- and 2,2',3',6,6'-pentabenzoates were also encountered, but in much lower yields. The order of reactions of the 7 hydroxy-groups in methyl .beta.-lactoside is probably 6' > 3' > 6 > 2 > 2' > 4' > 3.
