Description

D-Apio-α-L-Furanose CAS NO 41546-49-0 is a specialized monosaccharide derivative, specifically an apiofuranose, which serves as a crucial chiral building block and intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry. Its unique furanose ring structure and stereochemistry make it a valuable precursor for the synthesis of complex natural products, nucleoside analogs, and carbohydrate-based pharmaceuticals. This high-purity intermediate is essential for research and development laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and fine chemical producers focused on glycoscience, antiviral drug development, and advanced material synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral precursor in the synthesis of novel nucleoside and nucleotide analogs for antiviral and anticancer therapeutics.
• Glycochemistry Research: Building block for constructing complex oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and glycomimetics in academic and industrial R&D.
• Natural Product Synthesis: Intermediate in the total synthesis of natural products containing apiofuranose or related sugar moieties.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Used in the preparation of labeled sugars and probes for biochemical assays and diagnostic kits.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a starting material for manufacturing specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances with specific stereochemical requirements.
• Bioconjugation & Ligand Synthesis: Utilized for creating carbohydrate-based ligands for protein binding, sensor development, and targeted drug delivery systems.
