This compound is primarily used in the field of organic synthesis and nucleotide chemistry. It serves as a protected form of adenosine, where the benzoyl group safeguards the exocyclic amine, and the disiloxane group protects the hydroxyl functions at the 3' and 5' positions. This protection is crucial during the synthesis of oligonucleotides, allowing selective reactions to occur at other sites of the molecule without interference. It is particularly valuable in the automated synthesis of DNA and RNA sequences, where precise control over the reactivity of different functional groups is essential. Additionally, it finds application in the preparation of modified nucleosides, which are important for studying nucleic acid interactions and for the development of therapeutic agents targeting genetic diseases.
