Description

.Beta.-D-Glucofuranoside, Ethyl is a specialized carbohydrate derivative, specifically an ethyl glycoside of D-glucose in the furanose form. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in synthetic organic chemistry and biochemical research. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical R&D teams, fine chemical manufacturers, and research institutions focused on glycoscience, carbohydrate chemistry, and the development of novel bioactive molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of more complex glycosides, prodrugs, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies involving glycosidases or glycosyltransferases.
• Carbohydrate Chemistry: Acts as a protected glycosyl donor or acceptor in the synthesis of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a chiral building block for the production of specialty chemicals and flavors.
• Academic Research: Utilized in universities and institutes for studying glycosylation reactions and carbohydrate structure-activity relationships.

Quality Control

Our .Beta.-D-Glucofuranoside, Ethyl is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, optical rotation, and impurity profile are available upon request, supporting your regulatory and R&D documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
