Phenyl-alpha-Galactoside

Description:
Phenyl-alpha-galactoside, with the CAS number 2871-15-0, is a glycoside that consists of a phenyl group linked to an alpha-galactoside moiety. This compound is characterized by its ability to serve as a substrate for various glycosidases, particularly galactosidases, which can hydrolyze the glycosidic bond. It is often utilized in biochemical research to study enzyme activity and carbohydrate metabolism. Phenyl-alpha-galactoside is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in water and organic solvents, which makes it versatile for laboratory applications. Its structural features include a phenyl ring that contributes to its hydrophobic properties, while the galactoside part provides polar characteristics. This compound is also of interest in the field of carbohydrate chemistry and can be used in the synthesis of more complex carbohydrate derivatives. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper laboratory practices.
