Description

1-O,2-O,3-O,4-O,5-O,6-o-Hexakis(Trimethylsilyl)-Muco-Inositol is a fully silylated derivative of muco-inositol, a stereoisomer of inositol. This compound is a critical protected intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry, valued for its role in modifying the solubility and reactivity of the inositol core. It is primarily utilized by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for the synthesis of complex bioactive molecules and specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key protected building block in the synthesis of inositol phosphate analogs, glycosidase inhibitors, and other drug candidates targeting metabolic and neurological pathways.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing novel plant growth regulators and pesticides where the inositol signaling pathway is a target.
• Chemical Derivatization Agent: Employed to introduce lipophilic trimethylsilyl groups onto other molecules, altering their chromatographic properties for analytical purposes like GC-MS.
• Glycochemistry & Carbohydrate Research: Acts as a precursor for the preparation of selectively deprotected inositol derivatives to study carbohydrate-protein interactions and enzyme mechanisms.
• Material Science Precursor: Potential use in creating silicon-containing hybrid organic-inorganic materials or surface modifiers.
• Biochemical Probe Development: Useful for creating labeled or modified inositols to study cellular signaling processes involving phosphoinositides.

Quality Control

Every batch of 1-O,2-O,3-O,4-O,5-O,6-o-Hexakis(Trimethylsilyl)-Muco-Inositol is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. We ensure high purity and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including NMR (¹H, ¹³C), HPLC, and GC. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your R&D and quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, this material must be stored in a cool, dry place (recommended 2-8°C) under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize condensation.
