Description

Mannose, 3-o-Methyl- CAS NO 2922-60-3 is a specific methylated derivative of the monosaccharide D-mannose, characterized by the methylation of the hydroxyl group at the 3-position. This chemical modification imparts distinct physicochemical properties, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced organic synthesis and biochemical research. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical sectors for developing novel compounds, studying carbohydrate metabolism, and as a building block for complex glycoconjugates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly in antiviral and anti-inflammatory research.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or substrate in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and glycobiology research to understand sugar modification processes.
• Glycoconjugate Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of more complex oligosaccharides, glycopeptides, and glycolipids.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, advanced materials, and custom saccharide derivatives for various industrial applications.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Utilized in the formulation of diagnostic kits and assays that target specific carbohydrate-binding proteins or enzymes.

Quality Control

Our Mannose, 3-o-Methyl- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by IR and NMR, purity assessment by HPLC, and specific tests for related substances and residual solvents. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
