PRODUCTION OF PENTAACETYL-beta-D-GLUCOPYRANOSE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing pentaacetyl-β-D-glucopyranose by acetylation of D-glucose with acetic anhydride in a high yield. SOLUTION: In this method for producing pentaacetyl-β-D-glucopyranose by reacting acetic anhydride with D-glucose in the presence of a sodium acetate catalyst, 5-10 mol acetic anhydride is used based on 1 mol D-glucose and the reaction is carried out in an organic solvent.
