Description

2,3,5-Tri-o-Acetyl-D-Xylonic Acid, γ-Lactone, Min. 98% is a high-purity, acetylated sugar lactone derivative, serving as a crucial chiral building block and synthetic intermediate. Its value lies in providing a protected xylonic acid scaffold for the controlled synthesis of complex carbohydrates, nucleosides, and other fine chemicals. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require precise stereochemistry and functional group manipulation in their synthetic pathways.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral precursor for the synthesis of antiviral and anticancer nucleoside analogs.
• Carbohydrate Chemistry Research: Protected starting material for the study and synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for creating novel, biologically active compounds with specific stereochemical configurations.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring sugar-based chirality.
• Biochemical Tool Development: Used in the preparation of enzyme inhibitors or probes for glycosidase and glycosyltransferase studies.

Quality Control

Our 2,3,5-Tri-o-Acetyl-D-Xylonic Acid, γ-Lactone is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the specified minimum 98% purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality parameters are available upon request to support your regulatory and R&D needs.

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 after opening to prevent degradation by atmospheric moisture.
