(3beta,16beta,21beta,22alpha)-28-Acetoxy-16,22,23-trihydroxy-21-{[(2E)-2-methyl-2-butenoyl]oxy}olean-12-en-3-yl beta-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid(CAS: 122168-40-5)

This compound is a complex glucopyranosiduronic acid derivative with a molecular weight of approximately 1200 Da. It crystallizes in a specific form with a melting point around 200°C. The compound has limited water solubility, making it suitable for use in organic solvents. It is reactive towards strong acids and bases, and exhibits hydrogen bonding properties typical of its sugar moiety.

This compound is synthesized through a multi-step process involving the protection of the hydroxyl groups, followed by the introduction of the acetoxy group via esterification, and the subsequent installation of the sugar moiety using a suitable protecting group strategy. The reaction is catalyzed by a transition metal complex and proceeds with high selectivity, achieving a yield of up to 85%.

This compound is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for developing novel therapeutic agents. It also finds applications in the production of advanced polymers for biomedical devices and in the development of sensors for environmental monitoring. Additionally, its unique structure makes it interesting for research in the semiconductor industry for specific applications in materials science.
