Description

6-Deoxy-α-L-Glucopyranose Tetraacetate is a high-purity, acetylated carbohydrate derivative, also known as L-Rhamnose tetraacetate, serving as a crucial chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in providing a protected form of the deoxy sugar L-rhamnose, which is essential for constructing complex molecules with precise stereochemistry. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical sectors for developing APIs, specialty chemicals, and novel materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), antibiotics, and antiviral agents.
• Glycochemistry & Glycobiology Research: Essential building block for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of complex oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and glycomimetics.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the production of specialized herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that require specific sugar-based scaffolds.
• Fine Chemical Production: Used in the manufacture of flavors, fragrances, and specialty surfactants where the L-rhamnose moiety is required.
• Material Science: Monomer or modifying agent for synthesizing biodegradable polymers and smart materials with tailored properties.
• Standards & Reference Materials: Serves as a certified reference standard (CRS) for analytical method development and quality control in related chemical processes.

Quality Control

Our 6-Deoxy-α-L-Glucopyranose Tetraacetate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis for stereochemical integrity, and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or cGMP-grade requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
