Methyl 3,5-di-O-benzyl-b-D-ribofuranoside is a synthetic glycoconjugate. The methyl group at the 3 position of the ribose is substituted with a fluorine atom. This modification results in increased resistance to nucleases and enhanced cell penetration. Methyl 3,5-di-O-benzyl-b-D-ribofuranoside can be used for the synthesis of complex carbohydrates that are not accessible by other methods.
