Phenylethyl β-D-galactopyranoside, 100 mg

Phenylethyl β-D-galactopyranoside is a galactose-derived glycoside with CAS number 14861-16-6 and empirical formula C₁₄H₂₀O₆. The compound has a molar mass of 284,31 g/mol and a reported boiling point of 486,8 °C, reflecting the thermal behaviour of this organic glycoside under elevated temperature conditions. The phenylethyl aglycone provides a hydrophobic handle that can influence solubility, chromatographic behaviour and molecular recognition properties in biochemical systems. Glycobiology and carbohydrate chemistry groups employ this type of glycoside when evaluating glycosidase activity, designing model conjugates or calibrating analytical methods. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH arrives ready for laboratory use in research-scale quantities that match typical assay and scouting needs. Careful handling according to standard laboratory practice ensures integrity of the sugar moiety during weighing, dissolution and subsequent experimental steps. This biochemical supports method development, kinetic experiments and exploratory synthesis where a defined β-D-galactopyranoside reference is required for reproducible scientific outcomes.
