:4,6-O-benzylidene-D-galactose
Description:
4,6-O-benzylidene-D-galactose is a carbohydrate derivative characterized by the presence of a benzylidene group at the 4 and 6 positions of the D-galactose molecule. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as methanol and ethanol, but less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic benzylidene substituent. The introduction of the benzylidene group enhances the stability of the sugar, making it less prone to mutarotation compared to its parent sugar. It is often used in organic synthesis and carbohydrate chemistry as a protecting group for hydroxyl functionalities. The compound can participate in various chemical reactions, including glycosylation and other transformations typical of sugar derivatives. Its structural features contribute to its reactivity and potential applications in the synthesis of more complex carbohydrate structures or as intermediates in pharmaceutical development. As with many sugar derivatives, it may exhibit biological activity, although specific biological properties would require further investigation.

4,6-O-Benzylidene-D-galactose
CAS:<p>4,6-O-Benzylidene-D-galactose is an anomer of D-galactose. It is a lectin that has been shown to inhibit the binding of amyloid beta to the cerebroside in the brain tissue. This activity may be due to its ability to form an amide bond with galactose, which is present in amyloid beta. 4,6-O-Benzylidene-D-galactose also has a coronary heart disease prevention effect and can help reduce cholesterol levels. Furthermore, it has been found to have anti-cancer properties and can help prevent the growth of cancerous cells by inhibiting protein synthesis. In addition, 4,6-O-Benzylidene-D-galactose can be used as a cationic surfactant or detergent composition for cleaning or treating surfaces.</p>Formula:C13H16O6Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:White To Off-White SolidMolecular weight:268.26 g/mol
