Product Description: D-Glucal is an organic compound belonging to the family of aldoses, which are monosaccharides containing an aldehyde functional group. It has a six-carbon structure and is derived from glucose by oxidation of the primary alcohol group at carbon 1 to an aldehyde group. D-Glucal is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and has a sweet taste. It is an important intermediate in the chemical synthesis of a wide variety of compounds, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products. D-Glucal can be converted into other carbohydrate derivatives such as glycosides, glycoconjugates and amino sugars. It also plays a role in the study of carbohydrate chemistry, where it is used as a chiral building block for the synthesis of complex structures.
