Description

6-o-[2-O,3-O,5-O,6-o-Tetrakis(Trimethylsilyl)-β-D-Galactofuranosyl]-2-O,3-O,4-O,5-o-Tetrakis(Trimethylsilyl)-D-Galactose is a highly specialized, fully protected carbohydrate derivative, serving as a critical synthetic intermediate in advanced organic chemistry. Its value lies in its role as a key building block for the precise construction of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates, where protecting groups are essential for regioselective reactions. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in glycobiology research, carbohydrate-based drug discovery, and the synthesis of novel diagnostic agents.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: As a protected galactose donor for studying glycosylation pathways and enzyme mechanisms.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: A crucial intermediate in the development of carbohydrate-based therapeutics, including antiviral and anticancer agents.
• Oligosaccharide Assembly: Used in automated and solution-phase synthesis to build specific, complex carbohydrate chains for biological studies.
• Glycoconjugate Production: For the chemical synthesis of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and neoglycoconjugates used in vaccine development.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Serves as a precursor for labeled sugars used in assays and imaging probes.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Enables the creation of tagged carbohydrate molecules to investigate cell-surface interactions and signaling.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards for research and pharmaceutical intermediates. Every batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including NMR (¹H, ¹³C), HPLC, and mass spectrometry to confirm identity, purity, and structural integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request, supporting your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent decomposition. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
