5'-Tosyladenosine is a compound useful in organic synthesis.

Adenosine is a naturally occuring nucleoside and an essential building block in DNA synthesis.

The tosyl protected adenosine at the 5' position, 5-tosyladenosine, allows for selective functionalistion at the the 3' and 4' positions, resulting in derivatised nucleotides that can incorporated into modified RNA which is an area of therapeutics that is currently expanding.
