4-Methoxyphenyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-4-O-(2,6-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside(CAS: 358681-61-5)

This compound is a complex glycoside with a high molecular weight. It crystallizes in a form that is stable under normal atmospheric conditions. The compound has low aqueous solubility, which is typical for glycosides. Reactivity is moderate, showing some susceptibility to acid hydrolysis and mild bases. It is stable under neutral conditions and requires storage in a cool, dry place to maintain its integrity.

This compound can be synthesized via a multistep route involving the protection of a galactose unit with benzyl groups, followed by the coupling of the protected galactose to a glucose unit, and subsequent protection of the methoxyphenyl moiety. The synthesis uses standard protecting group strategies and is optimized for high yield and selectivity.

This compound is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for its structural complexity and potential as a drug intermediate. It may also find applications in the development of sensors and as a research compound in carbohydrate chemistry. Its use in semiconductor and polymer industries is less common but not entirely impossible.

When handling this compound, it is important to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work should be conducted in a well-ventilated area, preferably under a fume hood. Spills should be cleaned up using absorbent materials and proper waste management protocols. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and emergency procedures.
