Frequently asked questions

What is 1,2,5,6-Di-O-Isopropylidene-alpha-D-glucofuranose used for?

It is a protected form of glucose in which four of the hydroxyl groups are masked as isopropylidene acetals, leaving only the 3-OH free. This makes it a useful building block and intermediate in carbohydrate chemistry for selective modification at the 3-position, for example in the synthesis of 3-O-substituted and 3-deoxy sugars and of allofuranose derivatives via oxidation and reduction at C-3. It is also used as a chiral auxiliary or template in asymmetric synthesis.

What is the chemical formula and molecular weight?

The formula is C12H20O6 with a molecular weight of 260.28 g/mol.

How should this compound be stored?
