Catalog Number: A23-1010

Product Description:
1,2-O-Isopropylidene-β-L-arabinofuranose is a selectively protected L-arabinose derivative widely used as a key intermediate in carbohydrate chemistry and nucleoside synthesis. The isopropylidene (acetonide) group protects the 1,2-diol, enabling regioselective functionalization at remaining hydroxyl positions during multi-step synthesis.

This compound serves as an important building block for the preparation of modified sugars, nucleoside analogs, and biologically active molecules. Its defined β-configuration and stable furanose structure make it highly suitable for applications requiring stereochemical precision.

Due to its stability and versatility, it is commonly employed in medicinal chemistry, glycochemistry, and pharmaceutical intermediate development.

Key Features:

• 1,2-O-isopropylidene (acetonide) protected diol
