Description

1,5-Anhydro-β-D-Xylofuranose, Min. 97% is a high-purity anhydro sugar derivative, a key chiral building block and intermediate in organic synthesis. Its value lies in its unique furanose ring structure, which is essential for constructing complex carbohydrate analogs and nucleoside derivatives. This product is primarily needed by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of antiviral agents, enzyme inhibitors, and novel glycosylation methodologies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial precursor in the synthesis of nucleoside analogs and antiviral drug candidates.
• Carbohydrate Chemistry Research: Used as a starting material or chiral template for synthesizing complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.
• Biochemical Tool: Acts as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies related to glycosidases and glycosyltransferases.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed in the preparation of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific sugar-derived chirality.
• Material Science: Investigated as a monomer or precursor for biodegradable polymers and specialty materials.

Quality Control

Our 1,5-Anhydro-β-D-Xylofuranose is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity confirmation and identity verification by spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the specified minimum 97% purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
