1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-galactopyranose is an isopropylidene-protected derivative of D-galactopyranose used as an intermediate and reagent in carbohydrate synthesis and organic chemistry. It protects vicinal hydroxyl groups to enable selective transformations, and is used in oligosaccharide synthesis, glycosylation studies, and other carbohydrate-based research.
- Provides isopropylidene protection of vicinal diols enabling selective reactions.
- Suitable as a synthetic intermediate for carbohydrate chemistry.
- Supplied at laboratory research purity for reproducible results (97.0%).
- Well-defined molecular formula and molecular weight for characterization.
- Manufacturer documents include datasheet, certificate of analysis, and safety data sheet.
