4-Nitrophenyl2,6-di-O-benzoyl-a-D-galactopyranoside

Description:
4-Nitrophenyl 2,6-di-O-benzoyl-α-D-galactopyranoside is a synthetic compound primarily used in biochemical research, particularly as a substrate for enzyme assays. This compound features a galactopyranoside core, which is a cyclic form of galactose, modified with two benzoyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions, enhancing its lipophilicity and stability. The presence of the 4-nitrophenyl group serves as a chromogenic moiety, allowing for the detection of enzymatic activity through colorimetric changes upon hydrolysis. This compound is typically white to off-white in appearance and is soluble in organic solvents, making it suitable for various laboratory applications. Its structure allows it to participate in glycosidic bond cleavage reactions, making it valuable for studying glycosidases and other carbohydrate-active enzymes. Safety data should be consulted before handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
