Lactose octaacetate, min. 95 %, 50 g

Lactose octaacetate is a protected carbohydrate derivative supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for synthetic and preparative work in carbohydrate chemistry. It is identified by CAS number 23973-20-8 and the empirical formula C₂₈H₃₈O₁₉, with a molar mass of 678,59 g/mol. Fully acetylated lactose intermediates of this type are commonly used in glycosylation sequences, protecting-group strategies, and the preparation of modified lactose building blocks. Molecular identity and purity information follow the manufacturer description from Carl ROTH, aiding documentation and batch tracking in research and development settings. Chemists employ lactose octaacetate where a stable, well-defined acetylated disaccharide is required as a starting material or reference intermediate. Its defined molar mass supports accurate stoichiometry in reactions and analytical controls. This biochemical carbohydrate fits organic synthesis and carbohydrate chemistry laboratories that need reliable protected sugar reagents without excess specialty packaging for small exploratory quantities.
