Product Information

• Name: 1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-acetyl-b-D-galactopyranose
• Synonyms: b-D-Galactose pentaacetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-acetyl-b-D-galactopyranose, also known as beta-D-galactose pentaacetate, has high chemical stability and long shelf life. This protected form of galactose is a key building block of any chemical synthesis of galactose-containing oligosaccharides or glycoconjugates. In the presence of Lewis acids it can be used as a glycosyl donor to make simple glycosides. In order to perform more complex galactosylations it can be converted into more reactive donors, such as glycosyl halides or thioglycosides.
