Glucose-pentaacetate CAS:604-68-2

Glucose pentaacetate, also known as beta-D-glucose pentaacetate, is a chemical compound derived from glucose. It is made by acetylating five of the hydroxyl groups present in glucose with acetic anhydride, resulting in the attachment of five acetyl groups. This acetylated form of glucose can be used in various chemical reactions as a starting material, protective group, or as a carrier for controlled drug release. It is also commonly used in chemical research and analysis.

Application and Effect

Protection of hydroxyl groups: Glucose pentaacetate is commonly used in organic synthesis as a protective group for hydroxyl groups present in carbohydrates. By acetylating the hydroxyl groups, glucose pentaacetate prevents unwanted reactions with other reagents, allowing for selective functionalization of specific hydroxyl groups. Controlled drug release: Glucose pentaacetate has been investigated for its potential use in drug delivery systems. It can act as a carrier for drugs that are released in a controlled manner through enzymatic hydrolysis. The acetyl groups present in glucose pentaacetate can be selectively cleaved by esterases, releasing the drug in a controlled manner. Chemical research and analysis: Glucose pentaacetate is commonly used in chemical research and analysis as a reference compound. Its stable and well-characterized structure makes it useful for identification and verification purposes in various analytical techniques, including NMR spectroscopy. Synthetic applications: Glucose pentaacetate can serve as a starting material for the synthesis of various compounds. The acetyl groups can be selectively modified or removed, allowing for the introduction of different functional groups. This versatility makes glucose pentaacetate a valuable building block for the synthesis of complex molecules.
