An inhibitor of neutrophil-keyhole limpet hemocyanin adhesion

What are the applications of Application

1-O-Acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranose is an antiinflammatory inhibitor of neutrophil-keyhole limpet hemocyanin adhesion

What are the applications of Application

Beta-D-Ribofuranose 1-acetate 2,3,5-tribenzoate, also known as 1-O-Acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-beta-D-ribofuranose, is a ribose-derived compound used in nucleoside synthesis.

Synthesis

Rac-(2R,3R,4R,5R)-2-((benzoyloxy)methyl)-5-hydroxytetrahydrofuran-3,4-diyl dibenzoate was dissolved in dry pyridine, and the solution was slowly added dropwise with acetic anhydride in an ice water bath, then stirred for 30 minutes. Then, the ice water bath was removed, and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 7 hours and then heated to 40°C. This temperature was kept for an hour. The solution was added with broken ice and then stirred until the broken ice melted. The reaction solution was poured into ice water and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed sequentially with ice water, pre-cooled sulfuric acid, and saturated sodium bicarbonate until the water layer showed weak alkaline, then washed with ice water until the water layer showed neutral, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate for more than 4 hours, and then drawn off under reduced pressure, to obtain the light yellow syrup-like beta-D-Ribofuranose 1-acetate 2,3,5-tribenzoate (92.1%).
