• Synonyms: Methyl 2-deoxy-D-erythro-pentofuranosideMethyl 2-deoxy-D-ribose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 2-deoxy-D-ribofuranoside is a methylglucoside that is synthesized by the reaction of thiourea with chloroacetic acid. The anomers of this compound are atypical and the product can be obtained in high yield (70%) by the use of chromatographic purification. This chemical has been used to produce a variety of compounds including carbamates, chloroacetamides, sulfonamides and others. Methyl 2-deoxy-D-ribofuranoside is also an intermediate for asymmetric synthesis. It can act as a catalyst for reactions involving alkali metals and nucleophiles such as chloride, hydantoin and dimethylformamide. The structure of this molecule has been determined by nmr spectroscopy and its 1H NMR spectrum is consistent with that predicted from its molecular formula.
