Collection: MP Glycosides [Glyco Building Blocks]

MP Glycosides [Glyco Building Blocks] — a collection of glycosides bearing a p-methoxyphenyl (MP) protecting group at the anomeric position, including protected mono- and disaccharide units such as Neu5Ac, Neu5Gc, Gal, and GlcN derivatives with combinations of acetyl, benzyl, and phthalimide groups. The MP group serves as an anomeric protecting group that can be selectively activated in the subsequent glycosylation step.

MP Glycosides are used by carbohydrate researchers and glycan chemists as starting units in stepwise synthesis of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates, including sialylation reactions and regioselective glycosidic bond formation. The different protecting group pattern at each position enables reactivity differentiation for sequential glycosylation, while the anomeric MP group is removed or activated at the final stage to connect to a sugar unit or other carrier. This material is widely used in research on glycoprotein structures and complex glycans.

Pay attention to the pattern and position of protecting groups (acetyl, benzyl, phthalimide, azide) on each sugar unit, the alpha/beta anomeric configuration, and the glycosidic bond type so they match the planned oligosaccharide synthesis sequence. All products are genuine products of Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
