Collection: Glyco Building Blocks

Glyco Building Blocks — contains protected and glycosylated sugar derivatives, such as aryl glycosides, acylated amino sugars, and monosaccharides and disaccharides with acetyl or benzyl groups at their hydroxyl positions. This group functions as functionalized building blocks for constructing more complex carbohydrate structures.

Glyco Building Blocks are used in the synthesis of glycosides, model glycoproteins, and oligosaccharides through stepwise glycosylation reactions, with acetyl or benzyl protecting groups removed selectively as needed by the synthetic pathway. Carbohydrate chemistry researchers use derivatives such as N-acetylglucosamine and other acylated sugars as starting points for forming specific glycosidic bonds, including in research on cell receptor recognition and glycoproteins. The availability of various protecting groups makes it easier to adjust regioselective synthesis strategies.

Example products in this collection: TCI A0522 497-76-7 Arbutin, TCI B6340 3554-93-6 Benzyl 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside, TCI A0092 7512-17-6 N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine, TCI B6760 13343-67-4 Benzyl 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside, TCI V0011 63223-57-4 N-Valeryl-D-glucosamine, TCI C0074 15879-93-3 alpha-Chloralose (contains beta-isomer), TCI T4066 4049-33-6 1,2,3,4-Tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-xylopyranose, TCI C0861 5346-90-7 alpha-D-Cellobiose Octaacetate.

Pay attention to the type and position of protecting groups (acetyl, benzyl), anomeric configuration (alpha/beta), and isomer purity, as these strongly affect the selectivity of subsequent glycosylation reactions. Compound stability against humidity and storage conditions also needs attention for reactive derivatives such as acetals. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
