1,6-ANHYDRO-BETA-D-GLUCOPYRANOSE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White Crystalline Odourless Solid

Uses

1,6-Anhydrohexopyranoses have proven to be valuable synthons for the preparation of biologically important and structurally diverse products (e.g. rifamycin S, indanomycin, thromboxane B2, (+)-biotin , tetrodotoxin, quinone, and macrolide antibiotics) as well as for modified sugars.

Uses

1,6-Anhydro-beta-D-glucopyranose is used for the preparation of biologically important and structurally diverse products such as rifamycin S, indanomycin, thromboxane B2, (+)-biotin, tetrodotoxin, quinone, macrolide antibiotics and modified sugars. It is used as a chemical tracer for biomass burning in atmospheric chemistry studies, particularly with respect to airborne particulate matter. It aids in the production of bioethanol.

Uses

1,6-Anhydro-β-D-glucose is an useful carbohydrate synthon pharmaceutical intermediate.

Definition

ChEBI: A anhydrohexose that is the 1,6-anhydro-derivative of beta-D-glucopyranose.

General Description

1,6-Anhydro-β-D-glucose (Levoglucosa), belonging to the class of anhydrosugars, is an indicator of the burning of biomass in atmospheric aerosol, snow, and ice. It is formed via pyrolysis of glucans, such as cellulose and starch. Levoglucosa is also found in municipal waste and thermochemical processing products of biomass and soil.
