Description
Methyl α-D-xylopyranoside is a methylated pentose glycoside supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for carbohydrate chemistry and biochemical research. Registered under CAS number 91-09-8 with the empirical formula C₆H₁₂O₅, it has a molar mass of 164,16 g/mol. This α-configured xylopyranoside is frequently employed as a model substrate, synthetic intermediate, or analytical standard in studies of xylose-processing enzymes, glycosidase specificity, and plant-cell-wall related pathways. It also supports organic synthesis routes that require a protected or simple methyl glycoside of D-xylose. The material comes from manufacturer Carl ROTH and offers well-documented identity data that help ensure consistency across experimental series. Researchers in glycobiology, enzymology, and synthetic carbohydrate chemistry benefit from the practical pack size when preparing solutions, screening catalysts, or calibrating chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. Ideal for academic and industrial laboratories focused on pentose chemistry and related life-science applications.

Questions about Methyl a-D-xylopyranoside, min. 95 %, 10 g
What is this article?
Methyl a-D-xylopyranoside, min. 95 %, 10 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
