1,2-O-Cyclohexylidene-α-D-glucofuranose

Advance your carbohydrate synthesis, glycobiology, and organic chemistry research with 1,2-O-Cyclohexylidene-α-D-glucofuranose (CAS No.: 16832-21-6, CAT No.: SRCC-014). This high-purity cyclic acetal is derived from D-glucose protected at the 1,2-positions by a cyclohexylidene group, yielding a versatile intermediate for oligosaccharide assembly, nucleoside analog chemistry, and the preparation of specialty glycoconjugates.

With a molecular formula of C₁₂H₂₀O₆ and a molecular weight of 260.28 g/mol, this compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder or needles. Its strong cyclic acetal protection allows for selective downstream modifications and robust integration into synthetic workflows for advanced carbohydrate and biochemical research.
