3,4,6-Tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal acts as a building block for the synthesis of oligosaccharides in both solution and solid-phase. Further, it is used in the preparation of D-arabino-1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-hex-1-enitol. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar pro

3,4,6-Tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal

3,4,6-Tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal, also called 1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-arabino-hex-1-enitol triacetate, is the acetate protected cyclic enol-ether (glycal) of D-glucose. 3,4,6-Tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal is a building block useful in the synthesis of a range of carbohydrates with the glucal double bond allowing other functional groups to be introduced. As an alkene, a glycal can undergo electrophilic addition across the double bond to introduce halogens and epoxides or be used to generate deoxy monosaccharides. 3,4,6-Tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal can undergo a Ferrier rearrangement with an alcohol and Lewis acid to give a 2,3-unsaturated product.

Applications A D-glucal derivative.
