Product Information

• Name: Methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-L-fucopyranoside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-L-fucopyranoside is a fluorinated sugar that belongs to the category of carbohydrates. This compound is synthesized from D-galactose and 3,4,5-tri-O-benzyl L-fucose by glycosylation with methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl L-fucopyranoside. The synthetic route starts with an acetic acid esterification of D-galactose with benzaldehyde in the presence of pyridine and triethylamine to yield methyl 2,3,4-triacetoxybenzoate. A reaction with 3,4,5 trihydroxyphenylacetic acid in the presence of pyridine and triethylamine leads to a glycosylation between the two compounds. The resulting product is then subjected to hydrogenolysis using palladium on
