Description

D-Ribose, Didecyl Mercaptal is a specialized carbohydrate derivative where the aldehyde group of D-ribose is protected as a didecyl dithioacetal. This chemical modification enhances stability and alters solubility, making it a valuable intermediate for synthetic organic chemistry and biochemical research. It is particularly relevant for scientists and manufacturers developing nucleoside analogs, antiviral agents, and other fine chemicals where precise sugar moiety manipulation is required. The compound, identified by CAS number 123390-16-9, is supplied to meet the stringent demands of pharmaceutical R&D and advanced material synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of novel nucleoside and nucleotide analogs for antiviral and anticancer research.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a protected ribose derivative in glycosylation studies and enzymatic pathway investigations.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral precursor for the production of complex organic molecules and specialty materials.
• Glycochemistry: Employed in the development of carbohydrate-based drugs, vaccines, and diagnostic tools.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or modifier in the creation of functional polymers and biomaterials.

Quality Control

Our D-Ribose, Didecyl Mercaptal is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets precise specifications for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our clients in regulated pharmaceutical development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; for long-term storage, it is recommended to keep the container under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
