3B-T1935 - 6-o-triisopropylsilyl-d-galactal | 166021-01-8

<p>6-O-Triisopropylsilyl-D-galactal is a thioether that can be used to modify the octane number of petroleum. It can also be used as an analytical reagent for sulfur compounds and as a catalyst in desulfurization reactions. 6-O-Triisopropylsilyl-D-galactal is synthesized by reacting 6,6'-dithiodipyridine with glycerol in the presence of triisopropylsilyl chloride. The reaction is synchronous and the interaction energy between the two molecules is high. The orientation of the components (i.e., sulfoxide and sulfide) are octane and oriented, respectively.</p>
