Phenyl β-D-thiogalactopyranoside, min. 98 %, 500 mg

Phenyl β-D-thiogalactopyranoside is a thioglycoside analogue of galactose offered at a minimum purity of 98 %, with CAS number 16758-34-2 and empirical formula C₁₂H₁₆O₅S. The molar mass of 272,32 g/mol and the phenylthio aglycone make this compound a useful substrate or inhibitor candidate in glycosidase research and synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Thioglycosides are valued for their relative stability toward enzymatic and chemical hydrolysis compared with O-glycosides, enabling selective activation strategies during oligosaccharide assembly. Research groups working on β-galactosidase characterisation, inhibitor screening or thioglycoside donor development will find the stated purity grade advantageous for reproducible results. The product is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH for laboratory research use across academic and industrial settings. The half-gram scale balances economy with experimental flexibility, supporting both preliminary scouting and more extended series of comparative measurements in glycobiology and organic synthesis programmes.
