Description

Methyl 5-o-Trityl-D-Xylofuranoside CAS NO 104371-03-1 is a high-purity, protected carbohydrate derivative primarily used as a critical synthetic intermediate in organic and medicinal chemistry. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers requiring precise chirality and functional group protection in complex molecular assembly. It is particularly valuable for the synthesis of nucleoside analogs, antiviral agents, and other sophisticated pharmaceutical intermediates where the trityl group provides selective protection for further chemical manipulation.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of nucleoside analogs and antiviral/antitumor drug candidates.
• Glycochemistry Research: Used in the study and synthesis of complex carbohydrates, glycoconjugates, and glycomimetics.
• Oligonucleotide Synthesis: Serves as a protected precursor for modified sugar moieties in antisense and siRNA therapeutic development.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Employed in the creation of labeled or tagged carbohydrate probes for studying biological recognition processes.
• Process Development: Used in scaling up routes to chiral therapeutic agents requiring high enantiomeric purity.
• Academic & R&D Laboratories: A valuable reagent for methodological development in synthetic organic chemistry.
