Levoglucosenone is a pyrolysis product of cellulose and cellulose-containing materials including pulp and paper waste products. Known as a pyrolytic product of cellulose, its very useful as a chiral source for synthesizing natural products because of its highly functionalized structure, which contains one chiral center. Used as chiral building block in organic synthesis. Levoglucosenone is a molecule that inhibits the reaction mechanism of glycosidic bond formation. It is used in biochemical research to study reactions that involve surface methodology, such as hydroxyl group formation and zirconium oxide deposition. Levoglucosenone can be used to inhibit the acid formation that occurs during the reaction between nitrite ion and a chiral compound. The reactant solution can be activated by adding levoglucosenone to it, which will then inhibit the reaction. Sample preparation for these types of experiments involves dissolving the reactant solution in water and adding ammonium hydroxide to it, followed by adding a small amount of levoglucosenone.
