CAS: 52492-60-1

1,2:3,4:5,6-Tri-O-isopropylidene-D-gluconate is a chain sugar that is extracted from plant sources. It is a product of the methylenation of D-glucose and can be converted to D-mannitol. The reaction mixture yields dimethyl 2,3,4,5,6-tetra-O-methylene erythritol phosphate (DMEP) and diphosphate 1,2:3,4:5,6-tri-O-isopropylidene erythritol (DITEP). The DMEP can be hydrolyzed to form DME and phosphorylated to form DMPP. The crystal structure of this compound has been determined. In the elimination pathway for this compound, the gluconate group is eliminated as carbon dioxide and water with the release of energy in the form of heat. This
