Common NameGlucosan
DescriptionLevoglucosan belongs to the class of organic compounds known as oxepanes. Oxepanes are compounds containing an oxepane ring, which is a seven-member saturated aliphatic heterocycle with one oxygen and six carbon atoms. Levoglucosan exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Levoglucosan.
