Methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-b-D-ribofuranoside

甲基-2,3-O-异亚丙基-beta-D-呋喃核糖苷

Methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranoside is a heterocycle that is classified as a furanose. It reacts with reactive compounds such as nitro groups to form nitrofurans. This compound also has carcinogenic properties and has been shown to be an animal carcinogen. Methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranoside is also capable of forming conformationally constrained derivatives in which the carbonyl group adopts an α,α'-diaxial orientation with the adjacent nitrogen atom and can be used for synthesis of phenalenes.
