D-Galactopyranose, 2,3,4,6-tetrabenzoate is a tetra-benzoyl protected derivative of D-galactopyranose used as a building block in glycochemistry and synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. The benzoyl protecting groups lower polarity and improve compatibility with organic reaction conditions, facilitating selective transformations and glycosylation steps.
- Protected sugar intermediate for selective synthetic transformations.
- Four benzoyl groups reduce polarity and improve solubility in organic solvents.
- Suitable for use in glycosylation and carbohydrate assembly workflows.
- Characterized by a CAS number and molecular formula for unambiguous identification.
- Supplied in small research-scale quantities for laboratory synthesis.
