(2R, 3S, 4S, 5R) -3, 4-Dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinecarboxamide is an oligosaccharide that is synthesized by the glycosylation of 2-amino-2-deoxyribose with a methylated form of glucuronic acid. The glycosylation reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme UDP-glucose: (2R, 3S, 4S, 5R) -3, 4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-N-methyl-2pyrrolidinecarboxamide N’ 1′ N’’ glycosyltransferase. This compound is a sugar that can be modified to include fluorination or methylation. It has been used as a click modification for complex carbohydrate studies and was found to have a high purity.
