Short Description:

beta-D-Ribofuranose 1,2,3,5-tetraacetate CAS 13035-61-5

Tetraacetyl ribose (1,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl-D-ribofuranose), also known as 1,2,3,5-O-tetraacetyl - β - D-ribofuranose, has a molecular formula of C13H18O9 and is generally produced by the degradation and acylation of nucleotides. Its main industrial production method is the acetylation, cleavage, and crystallization of nucleotides to obtain the product. In the above process, two isomers are mainly produced: 1,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl - β - D-ribose (abbreviated as β - tetraacetyl ribose) and 1,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl - α - D-ribose (abbreviated as α - tetraacetyl ribose).
