D-Glucopyranose,2-O-methyl-

Description:

D-Glucopyranose, 2-O-methyl- is a methylated derivative of D-glucopyranose, a common form of glucose. This compound features a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the 2-position of the glucopyranose ring, which alters its chemical properties compared to unmodified glucose. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits sweetness, making it relevant in food and pharmaceutical applications. The presence of the methoxy group can influence its reactivity, stability, and interaction with biological systems. D-Glucopyranose, 2-O-methyl- may also participate in various chemical reactions typical of carbohydrates, such as oxidation and reduction, and can serve as a substrate for enzymatic processes. Its structural modifications can affect its metabolic pathways and biological activity, making it a subject of interest in research related to glycosylation and carbohydrate chemistry. As with many methylated sugars, it may also exhibit different physical properties, such as melting point and boiling point, compared to its parent compound.
