Description

Hepta-o-Acetyl-β-Maltosyl Azide is a highly functionalized carbohydrate derivative, specifically a fully acetylated maltose scaffold bearing an azide group. This compound is a crucial advanced intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry, enabling the construction of complex glycoconjugates via the highly efficient and selective copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) "click" reaction. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceutical development, glycobiology, and bioconjugation for creating novel drug candidates, diagnostic probes, and functional biomaterials.

Application

• Click Chemistry Reagent: A key building block for CuAAC reactions to attach carbohydrate moieties to alkyne-functionalized molecules like proteins, peptides, lipids, or solid surfaces.
• Glycoconjugate Synthesis: Used in the preparation of neoglycoconjugates for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions and developing carbohydrate-based vaccines.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a critical intermediate in the synthesis of complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with glycosylated structures.
• Bioconjugation & Labeling: Enables site-specific labeling of biomolecules with fluorescent tags, affinity handles, or other functional groups for diagnostic and research applications.
• Material Science: Used to create functionalized polymers or surfaces with bioactive carbohydrate motifs.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Acts as a precursor for synthesizing activity-based probes to study glycosidase enzymes or carbohydrate-processing pathways.

Quality Control

Our Hepta-o-Acetyl-β-Maltosyl Azide is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure high purity and structural integrity, critical for reproducible results in sensitive click chemistry applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity confirmation (NMR, MS), and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as indicated on the label or CoA. This material is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and should be handled under anhydrous conditions when possible. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
