Potential antiviral agent; used to make antiviral agents.
Used to make 5’-O-CED-phosphoramidite and further for the synthesis of reverse oligonucleotides
Used as a building block in the synthesis of 3-modified nucleosides, oligonucleotides and oligosaccharides. It is also used to modify glycoproteins to increase their stability and to improve their solubility.
Used to glycosylation with carbohydrates for the synthesis of modified thio-pyrimidine nucleosides
