4,6-O-benzylidene-a-D-glucopyranoside

4,6-O-芐叉-a-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷

4,6-O- (R)- Phenylmethylene -a- D-glucopyranose is a modification of the sugar glycoside glucose. This compound is synthesized from glucose by methylation and fluorination. The synthesis process begins with the addition of sodium borohydride to a solution of glucose in methanol. The next step involves the treatment of this mixture with phenylmagnesium bromide followed by phenylmethylene bromine. The final step involves heating the reaction mixture at reflux for 10 hours. 4,6-O- (R)- Phenylmethylene -a- D-glucopyranose is extremely pure and offers a wide range of applications in the fields of biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, and polymer science.
