Methyl α-D-galactopyranoside

Description:
Methyl α-D-galactopyranoside is a carbohydrate derivative, specifically a methyl glycoside of galactose. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a pyranose ring and a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to the anomeric carbon. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds. Methyl α-D-galactopyranoside is often used in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving glycosylation and carbohydrate-protein interactions. It serves as a substrate for various enzymes, including glycosidases, and can be utilized in the synthesis of oligosaccharides. Additionally, it has applications in the food industry as a sweetener and in the pharmaceutical industry for drug formulation. Its stability and reactivity make it a valuable compound in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many chemical substances, to avoid potential hazards.
