Product Information

• Name: Methyl D-arabinofuranoside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl D-arabinofuranoside is an antimycobacterial agent that inhibits the synthesis of mycolic acids, which are important components of the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Methyl D-arabinofuranoside has been shown to be active against drug-resistant strains and has been well tolerated by animals. This compound can be synthesized from 2,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid and arabinose in two steps. The first step involves a three-component condensation reaction with sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, and 2,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid. The second step is a nucleophilic attack on the pyran ring of methyl D-arabinofuranoside with hypophosphorous acid. Methyl D-arabinofuranoside can also be prepared by reacting sodium nitrosobenzene with sodium benzene sulfinate in alcoholic solution
