Isosorbide is a bicyclic diol derived from the dehydration of sorbitol. It serves as a critical bio-based platform chemical with the molecular formula C6H10O4 and CAS number 145-72-8. The core manufacturing process involves catalytic hydrogenation of glucose to sorbitol followed by acid-catalyzed dehydration.
Maintain storage in cool, dry environments away from moisture. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes; use appropriate PPE during handling. Pharmaceutical formulations require strict dosage adherence due to potential hypotensive effects.
