Description

2,3,4,6-Tetra-o-Benzyl-D-Glucopyranose is a key protected carbohydrate intermediate, essential for the stereoselective synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. Its value lies in providing a versatile, fully benzylated glucose scaffold that allows for selective deprotection and further functionalization at desired positions. This compound is critically needed by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in carbohydrate chemistry, glycobiology research, and the development of novel therapeutics and diagnostic agents.

Application

• Glycosylation Reagent Synthesis: Serves as a crucial building block for preparing glycosyl donors and acceptors in oligosaccharide assembly.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and development of glycosidase inhibitors, antiviral drugs, and other carbohydrate-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Glycoconjugate Production: A foundational precursor for synthesizing glycopeptides, glycolipids, and other biologically active conjugates.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Employed in the creation of labeled sugars and molecular probes for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions and metabolic pathways.
• Chiral Auxiliary/Resolving Agent: Utilized in asymmetric synthesis due to its defined stereochemistry, aiding in the resolution of enantiomers.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A standard reagent in laboratories focused on synthetic organic chemistry and glycoscience for method development and discovery.

Quality Control

Our 2,3,4,6-Tetra-o-Benzyl-D-Glucopyranose is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure high chemical purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for demanding synthetic applications. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by NMR and IR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
