• Beschreibung: 4-Deoxy-D-glucose is a neutral, odorless chemical that is used in the synthesis of glycosides. It has a hydroxy group and a methyl group attached to the 4th carbon atom. The hydroxy group on the 4th carbon atom can act as a nucleophile and react with electrophilic groups such as ketones or alcohols. This reaction mechanism leads to the formation of sugar products called methyl glycosides. There are many side effects associated with this chemical, including allergic reactions, which can be due to its structural similarity to glucose. The optimum pH for this chemical is 7.4, which makes it an acid-stable molecule. 4-Deoxy-D-glucose is found in nature and is biosynthesized by plants and animals in order to produce blood group antigens (ABO system). It also plays an important role in the ternary complex that regulates cell division in bacteria.
