Application

1,6-Anhydro-β-D-glucose (Levoglucosan) can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of:
  • 1,6-anhydro-2,4-dideoxy-β-D-glycerohexopyranos-3-ulose.
  • Quasi-linear polyglucose (PGlc) via cationic ring-opening polymerization.
  • Polynitrogenated analogs of glucopyranoses.
  • 3-deoxy-3-fluorogalactopyranose and acetylated 4-deoxy-4-fluorogalactopyranose.
