Description

β-D-Xylofuranose (9Ci) is a specific furanose form of the pentose sugar D-xylose, a key building block in carbohydrate chemistry. This compound is essential for research and development in the synthesis of nucleosides, carbohydrate-based pharmaceuticals, and complex oligosaccharides. It serves as a critical chiral intermediate and reference standard for scientists in pharmaceutical development, biotechnology, and advanced material science.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material for the synthesis of nucleoside analogs and antiviral/anticancer drug candidates.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and glycoscience research.
• Carbohydrate Chemistry: Fundamental building block for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and complex sugars.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in HPLC, GC, and NMR analysis.
• Glycobiology Studies: Employed in the study of carbohydrate-protein interactions, cell signaling, and the development of diagnostic tools.
• Material Science: Potential precursor for bio-based polymers, surfactants, and specialty chemicals derived from renewable resources.
