beta-D-Glucopyranose, 2-deoxy-2-(1,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo-2H-isoindol-2-yl)-, 1,3,4,6-tetraacetate

It often serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of amino sugars and glycosylated compounds. The acetyl and phthalimido groups protect reactive sites and facilitate selective chemical transformations. β-D-Glucopyranose, 2-deoxy-2-(1,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo-2H-isoindol-2-yl)-, 1,3,4,6-tetraacetate is a glucose derivative in which the C-2 hydroxyl is replaced by a phthalimido group, and the hydroxyls at positions 1, 3, 4, and 6 are acetylated.
