Description

3-o-Hydroxyethyl-D-Glucose is a chemically modified sugar derivative, specifically a D-glucose molecule functionalized with a hydroxyethyl group at the 3-O position. This modification imparts unique solubility and reactivity profiles, making it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. It is particularly relevant for industries focused on pharmaceutical research, specialty chemical manufacturing, and biochemical applications where precise carbohydrate chemistry is required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, especially in antiviral and anti-diabetic research.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway analysis.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block for producing surfactants, complex carbohydrates, and other fine chemicals.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Potential use in the formulation of advanced moisturizing agents and skin-conditioning products due to its humectant properties.
• Food Science Research: Employed in studies related to novel sweeteners, texturizers, or food-grade additives.

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 absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and handling properties.
