2-DEOXYRIBOSE 5-PHOSPHATE SODIUM SALT(CAS: 102916-66-5)

2-Deoxyribose 5-phosphate disodium is a white crystalline powder with a molecular weight of approximately 295.13 g/mol. It is highly soluble in water and has limited solubility in organic solvents. Its reactivity is moderate, making it suitable for use in biological and chemical synthesis. It is stable under normal storage conditions but can be sensitive to strong acids and bases.

2-Deoxyribose 5-phosphate disodium is typically synthesized through the phosphorylation of 2-deoxyribose using a phosphoric acid catalyst. The reaction involves converting 2-deoxyribose to 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate and then adding sodium ions to form the disodium salt. This process yields a high purity product with excellent selectivity and a yield of over 90%.

2-Deoxyribose 5-phosphate disodium is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of nucleoside drugs and analogs. It is also utilized in the polymer industry for the development of novel materials and in biosensors for detecting specific biological molecules. Additionally, it has applications in semiconductor production for creating specific functional layers.

When handling 2-Deoxyribose 5-phosphate disodium, it is essential to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, lab coat, and safety goggles. Handle in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood due to its sensitivity to moisture. Spills should be cleaned up immediately using appropriate absorbent material. Always consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for detailed safety information and emergency procedures.
