Description
2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-L-fucose is a fluorinated L-fucose derivative intended for specialised biochemical and glycobiology applications. The compound carries CAS number 70763-62-1 and the empirical formula C₆H₁₁FO₄, corresponding to a molar mass of 166,15 g/mol. Introduction of fluorine at the 2-position produces a stable deoxyfluoro sugar that is useful for probing fucose-processing enzymes, lectin interactions and metabolic pathways involving L-fucose. The reagent can also serve as a building block in the preparation of modified fucosides and related carbohydrate probes. Laboratories working on cell-surface glycosylation, antibody engineering or synthetic carbohydrate chemistry benefit from a clearly defined fluorofucose standard. This material is offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH within its biochemicals portfolio and supports precise experimental design in life-science and organic synthesis settings that rely on high-quality deoxyfluoro sugars.

Questions about 2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-L-fucose, 5 mg
What is this article?
2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-L-fucose, 5 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Carbohydrates & sugars, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A carbohydrate reagent is a sugar or a derivative, specified by identity, anomer where it matters, and purity. Hydrate and anhydrous forms change the mass. A culture-grade sugar and an analytical standard of the same name are different bottles.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
