Product Information

• Name: 6-O-Benzyl-D-glucose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-O-Benzyl-D-glucose is an aglycon of 6-O-benzylglycosides, which are synthesized from glucose by alkaline hydrolysis in the presence of silver oxide. The benzyl group can be removed by a variety of methods, including treatment with hydrogen chloride gas. 6-O-Benzyl-D-glucose has been used in research to demonstrate that carbohydrates have a common structural feature that can be identified by looking at their molecular structure. This molecule has also been used to study the synthesis and reactivity of benzyl groups.
