Collection: Monosaccharides [Glycoscience]

Monosaccharides [Glycoscience] — collects natural monosaccharides and their derivatives, including pentoses, hexoses, as well as acetate, benzyl, and other protected derivatives, which serve as the single sugar units that make up carbohydrate structures. This category includes variations of anomeric configuration and stereochemistry needed in the synthesis of sugar-based molecules.

Monosaccharides are used as starting materials in the synthesis of oligosaccharides, glycosides, and glycoconjugates in glycoscience research, including the preparation of biological markers and models of complex carbohydrate structures. Organic and bioorganic chemists use them for glycosylation reactions, protection-deprotection of hydroxyl groups, and regioselective modifications at specific positions on the sugar ring. Their acetate or benzyl derivatives are also used as intermediates in multi-step synthesis routes toward more complex sugar compounds.

Example products in this collection: TCI D0059 533-67-5 2-Deoxy-D-ribose, TCI B6321 2,6-Bis(acetamido)-2,6-dideoxy-D-mannose, TCI I0862 489-32-7 Icariin, TCI B6340 3554-93-6 Benzyl 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside, TCI A0513 10323-20-3 D-(-)-Arabinose, TCI B6760 13343-67-4 Benzyl 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside, TCI A0514 147-81-9 DL-Arabinose, TCI C0074 15879-93-3 alpha-Chloralose (contains beta-isomer).

Pay attention to the anomeric configuration (alpha/beta), the optical isomer form (D/L), and the type of protecting group attached, as these differences determine the path of subsequent glycosylation reactions. Purity and crystal form stability also affect the reproducibility of synthesis results. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
