Chitobiose Octaacetate

Description: Chitobiose is a dimer of beta-1,4 linked glucosamine units derived from chitin, which, in turn, is a long chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine that is a primary component of fungal cell walls and arthropod exoskeletons. Chitobiose octaacetate is a form of chitobiose containing eight acetate groups. It is formed by the acetolysis of chitin. Chitobiose octaacetate can be used for the synthesis of chitobiose oxazoline and other chitin precursors. Target: Others.
