This protected furanose glucose derivative is core carbohydrate intermediate for fine chemical, pharmaceutical API and saccharide chemistry research. Its 1,2-isopropylidene acetal protecting group selectively shields adjacent hydroxyls while retaining three free hydroxyl groups on glucose skeleton, enabling site-selective derivatization via esterification, etherification and halogenation reactions. Widely used as starting raw material to synthesize nucleoside drugs, sugar-based surfactants and chiral pharmaceutical intermediates in anti-viral, anti-diabetic medicine production. In biochemical field, it serves as standard reference substance for carbohydrate chromatography analysis and synthetic model for glycobiology lab research. It is also key precursor for manufacturing bis-acetone glucose (diacetone-D-glucose, CAS 582-52-5) through further acetonation reaction, massively supplied for custom synthesis factories, biochemistry research institutes and sugar chemical manufacturers globally.

GHS Signal Word：Not Hazardous；No GHS hazard classification for this polyhydroxy saccharide derivative. Low toxic, non-irritant to skin, eye and respiratory tract under regular operation. Oral acute toxicity is extremely low with no recorded poisoning cases. Direct skin contact causes no erythema or allergy; eye splash only needs brief clean with running tap water. Avoid strong mineral acid environment because acetal group hydrolyzes into parent glucose and acetone under acidic heating condition. Operate in general ventilated lab space with common latex gloves; no dedicated respirator required for normal weighing and transferring. Store separately from concentrated acid, acidic catalyst and oxidizing chemicals to prevent premature hydrolysis. Waste solids can be treated as general organic waste complying with local chemical disposal rules, free from dangerous goods transportation limitation under UN regulation.
