Description

Phenyl 2-O,3-O,4-O,6-o-Tetramethyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside is a chemically protected glycoside derivative, serving as a crucial synthetic intermediate and reference standard. Its value lies in providing a stable, non-reactive scaffold for the controlled synthesis of complex carbohydrates and glycoconjugates. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceutical development, particularly for prodrug synthesis and carbohydrate chemistry, as well as in academic research exploring enzymatic glycosylation mechanisms.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel glycoside-based prodrugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Carbohydrate Chemistry Research: Serves as a protected building block for the stepwise construction of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.
• Enzymology Studies: Acts as a substrate or inhibitor in studies of glycosidase and glycosyltransferase enzymes.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Employed for method development, calibration, and quality control in HPLC and LC-MS analysis of carbohydrate compounds.
• Glycobiology Tool: Utilized in probing biological recognition processes involving cell-surface carbohydrates.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a starting material for the preparation of more complex, selectively deprotected sugar derivatives.

Quality Control

Our Phenyl 2-O,3-O,4-O,6-o-Tetramethyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider the use of desiccants.
