I-2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate yikhemikhali yekhemikhali esetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo kwi-carbohydrate chemistry kunye ne-glycosylation reactions.Iphuma kwi-α-D-galactopyranose, uhlobo lweswekile, apho amaqela e-hydroxyl kwi-2, 3, 4, kunye ne-6 isikhundla sendandatho ye-galactopyranose i-acetylated.Ukongezelela, i-anomeric carbon (C1) yeswekile ikhuselwe kunye neqela le-trichloroacetimidate, elenza i-electrophile enamandla ngexesha lokuphendula kwe-glycosylation.
Ikhompawundi isoloko isetyenziswa njenge-agent ye-glycosylating ukwazisa i-galactose moieties kwiimolekyuli ezahlukeneyo, ezifana neeprotheni, iipeptides, okanye iimolekyuli ezincinci zezinto eziphilayo.Oku kunokufezekiswa ngokuphendula le ngqungquthela kunye ne-nucleophile (umzekelo, amaqela e-hydroxyl kwi-molecule ekujoliswe kuyo) phantsi kweemeko ezifanelekileyo.Iqela le-trichloroacetimidate liququzelela ukudibanisa kwe-galactose moiety kwi-molecule ejoliswe kuyo, okubangelwa ukubunjwa kwebhondi ye-glycosidic.
Le khompawundi isetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo kwi-synthesis ye-glycoconjugates, i-glycopeptides, kunye ne-glycolipids.Inika indlela eguquguqukayo nesebenzayo yokuguqula iimolekyuli ezineentsalela zegalactose, ezinokuthi zifaneleke kwiinkalo ezahlukeneyo, kubandakanywa izifundo zebhayoloji, iinkqubo zokuhanjiswa kweziyobisi, okanye uphuhliso lwesitofu sokugonya.
