Description

β-Glucosylglycerol 2,3,4,6-Tetraacetate is a chemically modified derivative of glucosylglycerol, where the hydroxyl groups are protected as acetate esters. This compound serves as a crucial synthetic intermediate and building block in organic and carbohydrate chemistry. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for the development of novel compounds, including surfactants, stabilizers, and active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel glycosylated compounds and prodrugs for enhanced bioavailability.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for the production of mild, sugar-based surfactants and moisturizing agents.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a protected substrate or standard in enzymatic studies related to glycosidases and carbohydrate metabolism.
• Specialty Chemical Production: Employed as a key building block for creating advanced materials, such as biodegradable polymers or specialty surfactants.
• Food Science Applications: Potential use in developing novel food-grade emulsifiers or texturizing agents, subject to regulatory approval.

Quality Control

Our β-Glucosylglycerol 2,3,4,6-Tetraacetate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation by atmospheric moisture.
