5,7-Dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl 2-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside(CAS: 27661-51-4)

The compound is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 737.9 g/mol. It has limited water solubility (0.5 mg/L). This compound shows moderate reactivity towards nucleophiles and has good stability under neutral and slightly acidic conditions. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and methanol.

The compound is synthesized via a multi-step process involving coupling reactions and glycosylation. Key steps include the protection of hydroxyl groups, construction of the chromenone scaffold, and subsequent glycosylation using beta-D-xylopyranosyl and beta-D-glucopyranosyl donors. The overall yield is around 60% with good selectivity.

This compound is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for its potential as a bioactive molecule. It may also find applications in the food industry as a flavor enhancer or in the cosmetic industry as a skin care ingredient. Its chromenone structure makes it interesting for use in certain dyes and pigments as well.

Handle the compound in a well-ventilated area or fume hood. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, safety goggles, and lab coat. Store the compound in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In case of spill, use appropriate absorbents and dispose of according to local hazardous waste regulations. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information.
