Acetobromo-alpha-D-glucose CAS:572-09-8

Acetobromo-alpha-D-glucose, also known as 2-acetobromo-D-glucose or α-bromoacetobromoglucose, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of bromo-sugars. It is derived from glucose, which is a simple sugar and an important source of energy for living organisms. Acetobromo-alpha-D-glucose is a derivative of glucose in which the hydroxyl group at the C-1 position is replaced by an acetobromo group (CH3COBr). This modification introduces a bromine atom and an acetate group to the glucose molecule, altering its chemical and physical properties. This compound has various applications in organic synthesis and carbohydrate chemistry. It can be used as a building block for the synthesis of more complex structures, such as glycosides or glycoconjugates. The bromine atom can serve as a reactive site for further functionalization or as a leaving group for substitution reactions. Moreover, acetobromo-alpha-D-glucose can be employed as a starting material for the preparation of radiolabeled glucose derivatives, which are used in medical imaging techniques like positron emission tomography (PET). These radiolabeled compounds allow for the visualization and quantification of glucose metabolism in the body, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of various diseases, including cancer.
