Description

2,3,6,2',3',4',6'-Hepta-o-Acetylcellobiose is a fully acetylated derivative of the disaccharide cellobiose, serving as a crucial protected intermediate in carbohydrate chemistry. This compound matters for its role in enabling precise synthetic pathways for oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and other complex biomolecules where selective deprotection is required. It is primarily needed by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in glycoscience, drug discovery, and the development of novel carbohydrate-based materials.

Application

• Glycosylation Reagent: A key protected building block for the chemical synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycans.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and development of carbohydrate-based drugs, prodrugs, and diagnostic agents.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or substrate in enzymatic studies involving cellulases, glycosidases, and glycosyltransferases.
• Material Science: A precursor for creating specialized polymers, surfactants, or coatings with tailored properties derived from sugar chemistry.
• Analytical Standard: Employed as a reference material in chromatographic (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic (NMR, MS) analysis for method development and validation.

Quality Control

Our 2,3,6,2',3',4',6'-Hepta-o-Acetylcellobiose is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and performance.
