Description

3-Deoxy-3-Fluoro-D-Glucopyranose Min. 98% is a high-purity fluorinated carbohydrate derivative, a key building block in synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry. Its value lies in its role as a versatile intermediate for introducing fluorine atoms into complex molecules, a strategy used to modulate their biological activity, metabolic stability, and physicochemical properties. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and life science sectors developing novel fluorinated therapeutics, probes, and specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Critical precursor in the synthesis of fluorinated nucleoside analogs, antiviral agents, and other bioactive molecules.
• Glycobiology Research: Used as a stable, non-metabolizable glucose analog to study carbohydrate metabolism, enzyme inhibition, and cellular uptake mechanisms.
• PET Tracer Development: Serves as a starting material for the synthesis of fluorine-18 labeled radiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for creating novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with enhanced efficacy and environmental profile.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized to develop activity-based probes and inhibitors for glycosidases and other carbohydrate-processing enzymes.
• Process Chemistry: Employed in route scouting and scale-up for the commercial production of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Quality Control

Our 3-Deoxy-3-Fluoro-D-Glucopyranose is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and chiral analysis to ensure stereochemical integrity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and results is provided with every shipment. We support development and cGMP-grade requirements for advanced research and pre-clinical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
