D-Galactopyranose,2,3,4,6-tetraacetate

Description:

D-Galactopyranose, 2,3,4,6-tetraacetate is a derivative of D-galactopyranose, a six-membered cyclic form of the sugar galactose. This compound is characterized by the presence of four acetyl groups attached to the hydroxyl groups at positions 2, 3, 4, and 6 of the galactopyranose ring. The acetylation enhances the lipophilicity of the molecule, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. D-Galactopyranose itself is a monosaccharide and an important component of various polysaccharides and glycoproteins. The tetraacetate form is often used in biochemical research and synthesis, particularly in studies involving carbohydrate chemistry and enzymatic reactions. Its structure allows for specific interactions with enzymes and receptors, making it a valuable compound in the study of carbohydrate metabolism and recognition. Additionally, the compound's stability and reactivity can be influenced by the presence of the acetyl groups, which can be hydrolyzed under certain conditions to regenerate the original sugar.

CAS: 47339-09-3

2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-D-galactopyranose is a glycoside that has been used as an antigen in immunological studies and to study the role of fatty acids in cancer. This compound is phosphorylated to form 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-phospho-D-galactopyranose and reacts with primary alcohols to form transglycosylation products. 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetylgalactopyranose also reacts with chloride ions to form disaccharides. As a result of these reactions 2,3,4,6-tetraacetylgalactopyranose has shown anticancer activity.
