3-O-Methylhexopyranose, with the CAS number 3370-81-8, is a methylated derivative of a hexose sugar, specifically a pyranose form. This compound features a six-membered ring structure typical of pyranoses, with a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to the third carbon atom of the sugar ring. The presence of this methoxy group influences its solubility, reactivity, and biological properties. Generally, methylated sugars like 3-O-methylhexopyranose exhibit altered sweetness profiles and can serve as important intermediates in organic synthesis or as building blocks in carbohydrate chemistry. They may also have potential applications in pharmaceuticals and food industries due to their unique properties. The compound is typically stable under standard conditions but may undergo hydrolysis or other reactions under specific circumstances, such as in the presence of strong acids or bases. Its characterization can be performed using techniques like NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chromatography to confirm its structure and purity.
