(2R,3R,4S,5S,6R)-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-2,3,4,5-tetrol - Introduction
beta.-D-Galactopyranose, also known as beta-D-galactolide, is a carbohydrate compound containing six carbon atoms.
Nature:
.beta.-D-Galactopyranose is a white crystalline powder, soluble in water and hot dilute acid, slightly soluble in alcohols and solvents. Its chemical structure contains a pyran ring and a galactose group.
Use:
.beta.-D-Galactopyranose are mainly used in biochemical and biological research as substrates or inhibitors. It can also be used in the diagnostic analysis of human lactobionase deficiency.
Method:
.beta.-D-Galactopyranose is usually obtained by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of galactolides. Its preparation generally involves the removal of the lactone ring to produce hemi-lactic acid, followed by reduction, methylolation and aldehyde deprotection.
Safety Information:
.beta.-The D-Galactopyranose has no special hazards under normal conditions of use. However, as a chemical, it can cause allergic reactions in some people. When operating, it is necessary to follow safe operating procedures, such as wearing appropriate protective equipment and avoiding inhalation or contact with skin, eyes, etc. When stored, it should be kept in a dry, dark, sealed container, away from fire and oxidizing agents.
