2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosy, l azide, 500 mg

2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl azide is an acetylated glycosyl azide building block for carbohydrate and glycoconjugate chemistry. It is identified by CAS number 20379-61-7, the empirical formula C₁₄H₁₉N₃O₉ and a molar mass of 373,32 g/mol. The α-configured anomeric azide together with tetra-O-acetyl protection on the glucopyranose ring enables click-type ligation, reduction to glycosylamines and other azide-based transformations while the hydroxyl groups remain masked. Its clearly defined molecular composition allows precise stoichiometric use in multi-step sequences. As a peracetylated glucosyl azide, it fits established workflows in synthetic organic chemistry, glycobiology and medicinal-chemistry programmes that rely on sugar azides as versatile intermediates. Handle according to standard laboratory practice for organic azides and acetylated carbohydrates.
