D-Arabinofuranoside,methyl

Description:

D-Arabinofuranoside, methyl, with the CAS number 79083-42-4, is a chemical compound characterized by its structure as a methyl glycoside derived from D-arabinofuranose. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in water and various organic solvents, reflecting its polar nature due to the presence of hydroxyl groups. It is often used in biochemical research and synthesis, particularly in the study of nucleosides and carbohydrates. The methyl group enhances its stability and solubility, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, D-arabinofuranoside derivatives can play a role in the development of pharmaceuticals and glycosylation reactions. Its reactivity is influenced by the functional groups present, allowing for various chemical transformations. As with many sugar derivatives, it may exhibit biological activity, although specific applications and effects can vary based on the context of use. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines, as with any chemical substance.

Methyl D-arabinofuranoside is an antimycobacterial agent that inhibits the synthesis of mycolic acids, which are important components of the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Methyl D-arabinofuranoside has been shown to be active against drug-resistant strains and has been well tolerated by animals. This compound can be synthesized from 2,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid and arabinose in two steps. The first step involves a three-component condensation reaction with sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, and 2,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid. The second step is a nucleophilic attack on the pyran ring of methyl D-arabinofuranoside with hypophosphorous acid. Methyl D-arabinofuranoside can also be prepared by reacting sodium nitrosobenzene with sodium benzene sulfinate in alcoholic solution
