Product Information

• Name: N4-Benzoyl-2'-deoxycytidine
• Synonyms: N4-Benzoyl-2'-deoxy-D-cytidineN4Bz-2'-dC
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N4-Benzoyl-2'-deoxycytidine is a fluorescent nucleoside that has been used to study the molecular interactions between sugar residues and the phosphate groups of nucleic acids. It is used as a reagent for glycosidation, which involves the formation of a glycosidic linkage between an alcohol group in a saccharide or oligosaccharide and the hydroxyl group in an aromatic acid. N4-Benzoyl-2'-deoxycytidine has also been synthesized by solid-phase techniques. This synthetic method is based on phosphoramidite chemistry and uses an automated DNA synthesizer to produce oligonucleotides with specific sequences. The synthesis of this nucleoside relies on the use of fluorescent dyes such as fluorescein, rhodamine, and coumarin to monitor progress during synthesis.
