Description

β-D-Galactose Pentapivalate is a high-purity, protected monosaccharide derivative where all hydroxyl groups are esterified with pivaloyl groups. This compound is crucial as a key synthetic intermediate and building block in carbohydrate chemistry and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical industries for the synthesis of complex glycoconjugates, glycomimetics, and novel therapeutic agents.

Application

• Glycosylation Reagent: Used as a key intermediate in the stereoselective synthesis of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a protected precursor in the development of glycan-based drugs, including antiviral and anticancer agents.
• Carbohydrate Chemistry Research: Essential for academic and industrial research focused on understanding glycosylation mechanisms and developing new synthetic methodologies.
• Glycopolymer Synthesis: Acts as a monomer or building block for creating novel polymers with specific biological recognition properties.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Utilized in the production of labeled sugars and probes for biochemical assays and diagnostic kits.
• Enzyme Substrate/Inhibitor Studies: Employed in biochemical studies to investigate the activity and specificity of glycosidases and glycosyltransferases.

Quality Control

Our β-D-Galactose Pentapivalate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity confirmation and identity verification by spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets the specified 98% minimum purity standard. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under anhydrous conditions. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon to maintain stability.
