β-D-Galactose pentaacetate(CAT: L012298) is a fully acetylated form of β-D-galactose, featuring acetyl groups attached to each hydroxyl position on the sugar ring. This compound is commonly used in carbohydrate research and organic synthesis as a protected sugar intermediate. The acetyl groups provide stability, making β-D-Galactose pentaacetate an excellent precursor for selective deprotection and modification in glycosylation reactions, where it can be converted into glycosides, oligosaccharides, and other carbohydrate derivatives. It is particularly valuable in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates and in studying carbohydrate-protein interactions, supporting research in biochemistry, pharmacology, and glycoscience.
