1,6-Anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose（CAS:498-07-7）

1,6-Anhydrohexopyranoses have proven to be valuable synthons for the preparation of biologically important and structurally diverse products (e.g. rifamycin S, indanomycin, thromboxane B2, (+)-biotin, tetrodotoxin, quinone, and macrolide antibiotics) as well as for modified sugars.

The chemical/physical/toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated. Since it is known to be a minor component of certain food materials it may be regarded as of relatively low toxicity.
