4-O-Methyl-D-glucose

Description:

4-O-Methyl-D-glucose, with the CAS number 4132-38-1, is a derivative of D-glucose where a methoxy group (-OCH3) is substituted at the fourth carbon position. This modification alters its physical and chemical properties compared to regular D-glucose. The compound is typically a white crystalline solid, soluble in water due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, which facilitate hydrogen bonding. Its molecular formula reflects the addition of a methyl group, resulting in a slightly different molecular weight than D-glucose. 4-O-Methyl-D-glucose is often used in biochemical research and studies related to carbohydrate metabolism, as it can serve as a substrate for various enzymatic reactions. The presence of the methoxy group can influence its reactivity and interaction with enzymes, making it a valuable tool in understanding glycosylation processes and the role of sugars in biological systems. Additionally, it may exhibit different sweetness levels and metabolic pathways compared to its parent compound, D-glucose.

4-O-Methyl-D-glucose is an acidic sugar that is found in the cell walls of plants. It has been shown to have structural studies on plant cells, with ion-exchange and ester linkages. 4-O-Methyl-D-glucose is metabolized by microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and yeast. This sugar can be oxidized to form acid or oligosaccharides as well as oxidation products such as methylglyoxal. 4-O-Methyl-D-glucose is also used in the synthesis of mucopolysaccharides which make up the connective tissue of tumor cells. This sugar can be synthesized from D-mannose by a diazonium salt reaction followed by oxidation with sodium hypochlorite. The hydroxyl group on this sugar can be acetylated to form acetylated 4-O methyl glucose.
