Cultured plant cells of Eucalyptus perriniana can convert phenol and phenylalkyl alcohols [C 6 H 5 (CH 2 ) n OH, n =0–3] into the corresponding β‐ D ‐glucopyranosides in a good yield. The cells preferentially glucosylated phenylmethanol ( n =1, 59% yield) rather than phenol ( n =0, 49%), 2‐phenylethanol ( n =2, 38%), and 3‐phenylpropan‐1‐ol ( n =3, 20%). On the other hand, 2‐, 3‐, and 4‐hydroxyphenylmethanols were also glucosylated to (hydroxymethyl)phenyl β‐ D ‐glucopyranosides and (hydroxyphenyl)methyl β‐ D ‐glucopyranosides by cultured E. perriniana cells.
