2,3,4,6-Tetrakis-O-trimethylsilyl-D-gluconolactone is a highly silylated carbohydrate derivative used primarily as a chiral building block. Its molecular formula is C18H40O7Si4, with CAS No. 5967-46-0. The core synthesis involves the exhaustive silylation of D-glucono-delta-lactone using chlorotrimethylsilane and an amine base.
Store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent hydrolysis. Strictly avoid moisture exposure due to rapid degradation into silanols. Personal protective equipment is mandatory during handling.
