Product Information
Name:Methyl D-glucofuranoside
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Methyl D-glucofuranoside is a model compound of a sugar that has been modified with an acyl group. The hydroxy group in this molecule is the site of attachment for other molecules that can modify the sugar. In impure samples, methyl glycosides are frequently observed due to their high solubility in water. Methyl glycosides have been used as a synthetic intermediate in the production of empagliflozin, an anti-diabetic drug. Protocatechuic acid and nucleophilic reagents are often used during synthesis to convert the hydroxyl group into an ether or ester linkage. This modification makes methyl D-glucofuranoside more soluble in organic solvents. Methyl D-glucofuranoside has two stereoisomers: (S) and (R). The erythro form is most common, but there are also traces of the threo form present in some samples.
