Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 554.67 g/mol gives Methyl 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-galactopyranoside distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Methyl 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-galactopyranoside (CAS 53008-63-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C35H38O6 and a molecular weight of 554.67 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Methyl 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-galactopyranoside is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 554.67 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
