Description

3-o-Carboxymethyl-D-Glucose is a functionalized monosaccharide derivative, serving as a key chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in the introduction of a reactive carboxymethyl group at the 3-position, enabling further chemical modifications for creating complex molecular architectures. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical sectors, particularly for developing novel glycosylated compounds, prodrugs, and specialized biochemical reagents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Critical for the synthesis of novel glycosylated drug candidates, prodrugs, and targeted therapeutic agents.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a precursor or substrate in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway research, and the development of biochemical probes.
• Glycochemistry & Glycobiology: Serves as a versatile building block for constructing complex oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and glycomimetics.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed in the production of specialty chemicals, chiral ligands, and advanced materials requiring specific sugar-based motifs.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Potential use in the synthesis of novel, skin-compatible humectants or bioactive compounds.

Quality Control

Our 3-o-Carboxymethyl-D-Glucose is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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.
