Description

Ribofuranose, 1,5-Anhydro-2,3-o-Isopropylidene-, D- is a protected carbohydrate derivative, specifically a D-ribose analog, that serves as a crucial chiral building block and synthetic intermediate. This compound matters because its isopropylidene protecting group provides stability and directs regioselectivity in complex organic syntheses, enabling the production of high-value, optically pure molecules. It is primarily needed by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for developing nucleoside analogs, antiviral agents, and other bioactive compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material for the synthesis of nucleoside analogs and antiviral drugs.
• Chiral Building Block: Used in asymmetric synthesis to construct complex natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Research: Intermediate in the development of novel pesticides and herbicides with specific stereochemistry.
• Glycochemistry: Valuable precursor for the synthesis of modified sugars, glycosides, and carbohydrate-based probes.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed in custom synthesis and process development for specialty chemicals.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in metabolic pathway studies and enzyme research.

Quality Control

Our Ribofuranose, 1,5-Anhydro-2,3-o-Isopropylidene-, D- is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided and available upon request, detailing all relevant specifications to support your regulatory and R&D requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
