α,α-Trehalose octa-O-(Trimethylsilyl) is an intermediate in the synthesis of Trehalose 6-Phosphate Dipotassium Salt (T718715), an intermediate in the synthesis of D-(+)-Trehalose (T718750), a disaccharide composed of two α-glucose units. D-(+)-Trehalose is used in many processed foods as well as in biopharmaceutical monoclonal antibody formulations. When plants’ sugar levels are low, they reduce their investment in fatty acid synthesis. Trehalose 6-phoshate (T6P) regulates oil synthesis in plants. (Chem. and Eng. News p. 9 Oct. 1, (2018)) |
