CAS 3150-20-7: 4-methoxyphenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside
Description:4-Methoxyphenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside, with the CAS number 3150-20-7, is a glycoside compound characterized by the presence of a methoxyphenyl group attached to a beta-D-galactopyranoside moiety. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and methanol, reflecting the hydrophilic nature of the galactopyranoside unit. It is often used in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving glycosylation and enzyme activity, as it can serve as a substrate for various glycosidases. The methoxy group enhances the lipophilicity of the molecule, potentially influencing its interaction with biological membranes and enzymes. Additionally, 4-methoxyphenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside may exhibit specific biological activities, making it of interest in pharmacological studies. Its stability and reactivity can vary depending on environmental conditions, such as pH and temperature, which are important considerations in experimental applications.
