Base-protected Nucleosides
2',3'-dideoxy-C(Bz)
Quick view. We supply 2',3'-dideoxy-C(Bz) as a protected dideoxy nucleoside intermediate for chain-terminator, analog and modified nucleotide synthesis. CAS 120885-60-1. Catalog target purity: ≥98%.

Product profile
2',3'-dideoxy-C(Bz) is classified as nucleoside or protected nucleoside intermediate (Formula C16H17N3O4; molecular weight 315.32).
2',3'-dideoxy-C(Bz) can serve as a starting material, protected intermediate or analytical comparator in nucleoside and nucleotide route development.
For 2',3'-dideoxy-C(Bz), polymerase acceptance varies; absence of a 3′-OH prevents further extension after incorporation.
