methyl beta-D-galactopyranoside

It often serves as a carbohydrate intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. Its stable glycosidic linkage allows selective chemical modifications on the sugar moiety for the preparation of complex molecules. Methyl β-D-galactopyranoside is a glycoside in which the sugar D-galactose is linked via a β-glycosidic bond to a methyl group.
