Description

(R)-Prunasin Tetraacetate CAS NO 60981-47-7 is a high-purity chiral intermediate and protected glycoside derivative of paramount importance in advanced organic synthesis. Its primary value lies in serving as a critical, enantiomerically pure building block for the construction of complex natural products and bioactive molecules, particularly cyanogenic glycosides and related pharmaceuticals. This compound is essential for research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries who require precise stereochemical control in their synthetic pathways.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those with glycosidic linkages.
• Natural Product Synthesis: Crucial building block for the laboratory synthesis and structural modification of complex cyanogenic glycosides and other plant-derived metabolites for biological activity studies.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing enantiomerically pure agrochemicals, where specific stereochemistry can influence biological activity and environmental degradation profiles.
• Biochemical Probe Development: Serves as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies related to glycosidase and glycosyltransferase activity.
• Asymmetric Synthesis Catalyst/ Ligand Precursor: Potential starting material for the preparation of chiral ligands or organocatalysts used in stereoselective transformations.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Fundamental reagent for methodological development in carbohydrate chemistry and stereocontrolled synthesis within university and government laboratories.

Quality Control

Every batch of (R)-Prunasin Tetraacetate is manufactured under strict quality management systems and undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess meet the highest standards. Our products are supported by a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) that includes data from chiral HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to ensure reliable batch-to-batch consistency for critical research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic); ensure the container is sealed under an inert atmosphere after each use to maintain stability and prevent decomposition.
