Uses
It is mainly used in biochemical reaction and used as medicine intermediate. It is used in synthesize for below products: L-gulose;1,2:5,6-Di-O-isopropylidene-a-D-gulofuranose; Alllose; ;1,2:5,6-Double-O-Isopropylidene-3-C-(1-Methoxycarbonyl)Ethide-alfa-D-Furanose) ;1,2:5,6-Di-O-isopropylidene-a-D-ribo-hexofuranose-3-ulose;6-deoxy idose.
Purification Methods
Diacetone-D-glucose crystallises from Et2O, (needles), pet ether or *C6H6 and sublimes in vacuo. It is soluble in 7 volumes of H2O and 200 volumes of pet ether at their boiling points. The solubility in H2O at 17.5o is 4.3%. It precipitates from aqueous solutions on basification with NaOH.
