2,5-Anhydro-D-glucitol(CAS: 27826-73-9)

2,5-Anhydro-D-glucitol is a monosaccharide derivative with the chemical formula C6H12O5. It is a structural isomer of D-glucose, differing by the absence of a hydroxyl group at position 5. It is used in pharmaceuticals, research, and as a chemical intermediate.

2,5-Anhydro-D-glucitol is primarily used as a synthetic intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, such as antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. It is also used in food additives, as a research reagent, and in the development of new materials.

2,5-Anhydro-D-glucitol is generally considered safe for its intended uses, but users should follow the appropriate safety guidelines, including wearing protective gloves and eyewear during handling. It is non-flammable and non-toxic, but ingestion or inhalation can cause irritation. For laboratory use, ensure proper ventilation and store away from heat sources.

2,5-Anhydro-D-glucitol should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the container tightly sealed to maintain its stability. Store at room temperature between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F), and protect from humidity. Ensure the container is made of a suitable material that does not react with the compound, such as glass or polyethylene plastic.
