Product Information

• Name: Sucrose-6-acetic ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Sucrose-6-acetic ester is a product of the reaction between sucrose and acetic anhydride. It is a white crystalline compound that reacts with chlorinating agents to form sulfoxide compounds. Sucrose-6-acetic ester can be converted to acetylsalicylic acid, which is used to synthesize aspirin. The reaction selectivity of this process relies on the enzyme catalysis of acetylation and triphosgene as well as an acidic or basic catalyst. Acetylation is carried out in organic solvents and requires a crystallization process for purification. This product also has fatty acid properties, which are insoluble in water and other polar solvents.
