2-Azido-2-deoxy-D-galactose, 100 mg

2-Azido-2-deoxy-D-galactose is a functionalised monosaccharide derivative that combines a D-galactose backbone with a 2-azido substituent for click-chemistry and glycan-modification workflows. It is defined by CAS number 68733-26-6, empirical formula C₆H₁₁N₃O₅ and molar mass 205,17 g/mol. The azido group at C-2 provides a versatile handle for copper-catalysed or strain-promoted azide–alkyne cycloadditions, enabling conjugation to probes, surfaces or biomolecules after incorporation into oligosaccharides. size suits method scouting, labelling experiments and small-scale synthetic campaigns where economy of material is important. Accurate molar-mass and formula information support precise dosing in multi-step sequences. This biochemical is offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH for research laboratories working in carbohydrate chemistry, chemical biology and related fields. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and standard azide-handling precautions during weighing and reaction setup. The product supplies a clearly specified 2-azido-2-deoxy-D-galactose building block without additional formulation components, ready for integration into established glycosylation or bioorthogonal labelling protocols.
