D-Cellobiose octaacetate, 2.5 kg

D-Cellobiose Octaacetate is part of a category of reagents recognized for technical precision. It is an ester of cellobiose, a disaccharide consisting of two glucose molecules, and acetic acid, with eight acetyl groups attached to the hydroxyl groups of the glucose units. This compound, identified as D-Cellobiose Octaacetate (CAS 5346-90-7), is supplied in a pure form with a minimum purity of 98% and packed in 2.5 kg quantities. Its primary function lies in the study of carbohydrates and their derivatives, particularly in the field of glycosylation reactions. Additionally, it serves as a valuable tool in the synthesis of more complex carbohydrate structures due to its ability to undergo selective acetylation reactions.
