Description

Methyl 2-deoxy-b-D-ribofuranoside is a methylglucoside that is used in the synthesis of thiourea. Methyl 2-deoxy-b-D-ribofuranoside inhibits the production of an atypical nucleotide, 5'-methylthioadenosine, which is used to synthesize thymine. It has been shown to be catalytic and may play a role in the biosynthesis of methionine and histidine. The chloride ion causes the reaction to proceed via an S N 2 mechanism. Methyl 2-deoxy-b-D-ribofuranoside can also be used in the synthesis of chloroacetic acid, azide, dimethylformamide, fluoride, anomeric alcohols, hydantoins and thionyl chloride. Methyl 2-deoxy-b-D-ribofuranoside can be chromatographically separated using silica
