Usage:

Methyl-2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-galactopyranoside is an important intermediate in organic synthesis.

It can be hydrolyzed under acidic conditions to convert into 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-galactopyranose, which is widely used in the synthesis of polysaccharides, glycoconjugates, molecular probes, and pharmaceutical intermediates.

It can react with acetic anhydride, and by controlling the reaction conditions, 1,6-di-O-acetyl-2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-galactopyranose and 1-acetyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-galactopyranose can be obtained respectively. This reaction plays an important role in the synthesis of fluorescently labeled glycoconjugates.

It can be conveniently converted into fluoro-, chloro-, bromo-, or iodo-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-galactopyranose.

Using Methyl-2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-galactopyranoside as a starting material, phosphonic acid galactosyltransferase inhibitors can also be synthesized. These inhibitors effectively inhibit α-1,3- and β-1,4-galactosyltransferases.

Storage: Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place.
