methyl alpha-D-galactopyranoside hydrate

Description:
Methyl alpha-D-galactopyranoside hydrate is a carbohydrate derivative, specifically a methyl glycoside of galactose. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a pyranose ring, indicative of its cyclic form. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, reflecting the hydrophilic nature of its sugar moiety. The presence of the methyl group at the anomeric carbon distinguishes it from other galactose derivatives, influencing its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. Methyl alpha-D-galactopyranoside is often used in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving glycosylation and carbohydrate-protein interactions. As a hydrate, it contains water molecules in its crystalline structure, which can affect its stability and solubility. The compound is generally stable under standard laboratory conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent degradation. Its CAS number, 34004-14-3, is a unique identifier that facilitates its recognition in chemical databases and literature.
