Description

β-D-Arabinofuranose (9Ci) is a high-purity monosaccharide sugar derivative, a key building block in organic synthesis and biochemical research. Its defined stereochemistry and furanose ring structure make it an essential chiral precursor for the development of nucleoside analogs, antiviral agents, and complex carbohydrates. This compound is particularly valuable for pharmaceutical R&D, biotechnology, and fine chemical synthesis, where precise molecular architecture is critical for biological activity and process development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Critical chiral precursor in the synthesis of nucleoside-based antiviral and anticancer drugs.
• Glycochemistry Research: Building block for the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and glycomimetics.
• Biochemical Probe Development: Used to create labeled sugars and metabolic tracers for studying carbohydrate metabolism and cell signaling.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for catalysts, ligands, and specialty chemicals requiring specific sugar motifs.
• Cosmetic & Nutraceutical Ingredient: Potential use in advanced skincare formulations and as a precursor for bioactive compounds.
