β-tetraacetylglucopyranoside-glycerol CAS:157024-67-4 is a chemical compound that consists of a glucose derivative, specifically β-tetraacetylglucopyranoside, linked to glycerol through a glycosidic bond.
It is a derivative of glucose that has all of the hydroxyl groups of glucose acetylated. Glycerol, on the other hand, is a simple polyol that is commonly used as a solvent or humectant in various applications.
β-tetraacetylglucopyranoside-glycerol is often used as a substrate for enzymes that can hydrolyze the glycosidic bond, such as β-glucosidases. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond can produce glucose and glycerol as the final products.
β-tetraacetylglucopyranoside-glycerol is also used as a nonreducing disaccharide analogue in carbohydrate chemistry research. The tetraacetyl group provides stability and resistance to hydrolysis, while the glycerol moiety can be further modified to attach other functional groups or molecules.
