CAS 116450-06-7: methyl-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-2-thio*-N-acetyl-A-

Methyl 4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-2-thio-N-acetyl-a-D-neuraminic acid methyl ester is a fluorescent analog of sialic acid. It is a water soluble compound that can be used in the modification of proteins and glycoproteins. This product is synthesized by methylation and fluorination of the C4 hydroxyl group of a sialic acid. This process leads to a high degree of purity as well as the desired chemical modifications. The modification of saccharides with this product has many applications in research and industrial settings.
