Description

Methyl 2,3:5,6-Di-o-Isopropylidene-α-D-Mannofuranoside is a high-purity, protected carbohydrate derivative, specifically a mannose analog, that serves as a critical chiral building block and synthetic intermediate. Its value lies in its ability to provide a stable, reactive scaffold for the stereoselective synthesis of complex molecules, ensuring high yields and purity in downstream reactions. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical sectors who require precise control over glycosylation and molecular assembly processes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral precursor in the synthesis of nucleoside analogs, antiviral agents, and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Glycochemistry & Glycobiology Research: Used as a protected mannofuranoside donor for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions and enzymatic processes.
• Oligosaccharide Synthesis: Serves as a fundamental building block for the controlled assembly of complex sugar chains and glycoconjugates.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, chiral ligands, and catalysts for asymmetric synthesis.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Utilized in creating labeled probes and substrates for enzymatic assays and diagnostic kits.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards for research and manufacturing. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry to confirm identity, purity, and chiral integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request, supporting your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This compound is moisture-sensitive; keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to maintain stability and prevent hydrolysis of the acetal protecting groups.
