CAS 4163-59-1: α-D-Galactopyranose, 1,2,3,4,6-pentaacetate
Description:α-D-Galactopyranose, 1,2,3,4,6-pentaacetate is a derivative of the sugar galactose, specifically an acetylated form that features five acetyl groups attached to the hydroxyl groups of the galactopyranose ring. This compound is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and is soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and methanol, but less soluble in water due to the presence of the hydrophobic acetyl groups. The acetylation enhances its stability and alters its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a protecting group in carbohydrate chemistry. The compound can be synthesized through the acetylation of α-D-galactopyranose using acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride in the presence of a catalyst. Its structure allows for potential applications in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, and as a building block in the synthesis of more complex carbohydrates. As with many acetylated sugars, it may exhibit different biological activities compared to its parent compound, making it of interest in research and development.
