b-D-Ribofuranose,2,3,5-tris-O-(phenylmethyl)-

Description:

β-D-Ribofuranose, 2,3,5-tris-O-(phenylmethyl)- is a derivative of ribose, a pentose sugar that plays a crucial role in biological systems, particularly in the structure of RNA. This compound features three phenylmethyl (benzyl) groups attached to the hydroxyl positions at the 2, 3, and 5 carbon atoms of the ribofuranose ring, which enhances its lipophilicity and stability compared to unmodified ribose. The presence of these bulky phenylmethyl groups can influence the compound's solubility, reactivity, and potential interactions with biological macromolecules. The CAS number 89361-52-4 uniquely identifies this specific chemical structure, facilitating its recognition in scientific literature and databases. Such derivatives are often utilized in synthetic organic chemistry and biochemistry for various applications, including the development of nucleoside analogs and in studies related to carbohydrate chemistry. Overall, β-D-Ribofuranose, 2,3,5-tris-O-(phenylmethyl)- exemplifies the modification of natural sugars to enhance their properties for specific research and industrial purposes.

CAS: 89361-52-4

2,3,5-Tri-O-benzyl-b-D-ribofuranose is a synthetic monosaccharide that is used in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates such as glycosylation and polysaccharides. One use for this chemical is to modify the sugar moiety with methyl groups, yielding 2,3,5-tri-O-methyl b-D-ribofuranose. This modification helps prevent the sugar from being metabolized by enzymes in the body. The chemical can also be fluorinated to yield 2,3,5-trifluoro b-D-ribofuranose.
