1,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-D-mannopyranose is an analog of N-acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) and a building block. It has been used as a precursor in the synthesis of differently substituted trimers of the group A N. meningitidis capsular polysaccharide repeating unit for use in immunological experiments. It has also been used in the synthesis of fluorescent probes for lysosomal labeling.
1,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-D-mannopyranose is a biochemical reagent that can be used as a biological material or organic compound for life science related research. 1,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-D-mannopyranose is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc) with molecules containing Alkyne groups. It can also undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.
