Description:D-Galactose, diethyl dithioacetal, with the CAS number 5463-33-2, is a chemical compound derived from D-galactose, a monosaccharide sugar. This compound features a dithioacetal functional group, which is characterized by the presence of two sulfur atoms bonded to a carbon atom that is also connected to an alkyl group—in this case, diethyl groups. The presence of the dithioacetal moiety suggests that this compound may exhibit properties typical of thioacetals, such as increased stability under certain conditions and potential reactivity in organic synthesis. D-Galactose itself is known for its role in various biological processes and can be found in dairy products and certain polysaccharides. The diethyl dithioacetal derivative may be utilized in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the protection of carbonyl groups or in the synthesis of more complex molecules. As with many organosulfur compounds, it may also exhibit unique physical properties, such as solubility in organic solvents and specific reactivity patterns in chemical reactions.
