Octyl a-L-rhamnopyranoside1g

Octyl a-L-rhamnopyranoside is a custom-synthesized, fluorinated, methylated, monosaccharide with saccharide and polysaccharide modifications. It is used for the modification of glycoproteins in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates and as an intermediate in the preparation of monosaccharides and their derivatives. Octyl a-L-rhamnopyranoside is synthesized by condensing 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene D-mannitol with 5-(bromomethyl)benzene sulfonyl chloride to give 5-(Bromomethyl)benzene sulfonic acid. The acid is then reacted with octanoyl chloride to form octyl a-L-rhamnopyranoside. Octyl a-L-rhamnopyranoside has been shown to inhibit protein
