2,6-Dideoxy-D-glucose, min. 95 %, 10 mg

2,6-Dideoxy-D-glucose is a specialised deoxy sugar supplied at min. 95 % purity for biochemical, metabolic, and synthetic research applications. Registered under CAS number 6988-55-2, it has the empirical formula C₆H₁₂O₄ and a molar mass of 148,16 g/mol, identifying it as a defined dideoxyhexose analogue of D-glucose. size is intended for analytical standards, enzyme assays, pathway studies, and small-scale organic transformations where only limited quantities of a rare sugar are required. This biochemical is offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH and fits laboratories working on carbohydrate metabolism, antibiotic sugar motifs, or structure–activity relationships of deoxygenated monosaccharides. Its reduced hydroxylation pattern relative to glucose makes it useful for probing substrate specificity and for preparing labelled or derivatised probes. Handle the material with standard fine-chemical precautions and incorporate it into protocols that benefit from a well-characterised 2,6-dideoxy-D-glucose building block. The compact pack supports economical evaluation before larger-scale procurement.
