Product Information

• Name: 4-Chlorosulfonylbenzoic acid methyl ester
• Synonyms: Methyl 4-(chlorosulfonyl)benzoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Chlorosulfonylbenzoic acid methyl ester is a reagent that is used in glycan biosynthesis. It is a deuterated analogue of uridine and can be used to screen for 4-epimerase enzymes. The 4-chlorosulfonylbenzoic acid methyl ester can be synthesized by the deuteration of uridine, which is then reacted with methanol and chlorosulfonic acid. This reagent can be used to study glycan biosynthesis by labeling the sugar moiety of glycans with carbon-13 atoms. The use of this reagent has been problematic because it cannot be reversibly converted back to uridine, so it cannot serve as a substrate for further synthetic reactions.
