1,2-dideoxy ribofuranose
Quick view. We supply 1,2-dideoxy ribofuranose as a protected or deoxygenated ribofuranose sugar building block for nucleoside and medicinal chemistry synthesis. CAS 91547-59-0. Catalog target purity: ≥98%.

Product profile
1,2-dideoxy ribofuranose is classified as nucleoside or protected nucleoside intermediate (Formula C5H10O3; molecular weight 118.13).
1,2-dideoxy ribofuranose — 1,4-Anhydro-2-deoxy-D-erythro-pentitol was used as a reactant in the study of simple fluorescent pyrimidine analogs that detect the presence of abasic sites in DNA.
For 1,2-dideoxy ribofuranose, polymerase acceptance varies; absence of a 3′-OH prevents further extension after incorporation.
