Description

Alpha,β-Trehalose Octaacetate CAS NO 22554-66-1 is a fully acetylated derivative of the non-reducing disaccharide trehalose, serving as a crucial protected intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry. This compound is valued for its role in facilitating complex carbohydrate synthesis by providing a stable, lipophilic precursor that can be selectively deprotected. It is primarily needed by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors for developing novel bioactive molecules and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel glycosylated drugs, prodrugs, and diagnostic agents.
• Carbohydrate Chemistry Research: Essential protected starting material for academic and industrial research into complex oligosaccharide and glycoconjugate synthesis.
• Agrochemical Development: Used in creating advanced, sugar-based adjuvants, elicitors, or active ingredients with improved properties.
• Material Science: Serves as a monomer or precursor for synthesizing specialized polymers, surfactants, or biodegradable materials.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Potential intermediate for producing stabilized or modified flavor compounds and aroma chemicals.
• Bioconjugation & Labeling: Utilized in the preparation of chemically modified biomolecules for analytical and therapeutic applications.
