D-Glucosamic acid

White Crystalline Solid

D-Glucosaminic Acid is a useful starting material for the synthesis of aldonic acids containing a free carboxyl group and having all hydroxyl functions esterified with a simple carboxylic acid are well established deriviatives.

ChEBI: 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-gluconic acid is hexanoic acid with four hydroxy groups at C-3, C-4, C-5, C-6, and an amino group at C-2. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite. It is functionally related to a D-gluconic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-gluconate. It is a tautomer of a 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-gluconic acid zwitterion.
