Abstract: The communication describes a simple procedure for the preparation of 6-O-acetyl-D-glucose by esterification of D-glucose with diluted acetic acid. Unchanged D-glucose is removed from the reaction mixture by crystallization and suceeding yeast fermentation. By-products are extracted with ethyl acetate and 6-O-acetyl-D-glucose is finally obtained by crystallization.
