2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate ni imiti ikoreshwa cyane muri chimie ya karubone ndetse na glycosylation.Nibikomoka kuri α-D-galactopyranose, ubwoko bwisukari, aho amatsinda ya hydroxyl kumyanya 2, 3, 4, na 6 yimpeta ya galactopyranose acetylated.Byongeye kandi, karubone ya anomeric (C1) yisukari irinzwe hamwe nitsinda rya trichloroacetimidate, bigatuma ikora electrophile ikomeye mugihe cya glycosylation.
Uru ruganda rukoreshwa kenshi nka glycosylating agent kugirango yinjize galaktose moieties muri molekile zitandukanye, nka proteyine, peptide, cyangwa molekile ntoya.Ibi birashobora kugerwaho mugukora iyi compound hamwe na nucleophile (urugero, hydroxyl matsinda kuri molekile yagenewe) mugihe gikwiye.Itsinda rya trichloroacetimidate ryorohereza guhuza galaktose ya molekile yagenewe, bikavamo gushiraho glycosidic.
Uru ruganda rusanzwe rukoreshwa muguhuza glycoconjugates, glycopeptides, na glycolipide.Itanga uburyo butandukanye kandi bunoze bwo guhindura molekile hamwe nibisigara bya galaktose, bishobora kuba ingirakamaro mubice bitandukanye, harimo ubushakashatsi bwibinyabuzima, uburyo bwo gutanga ibiyobyabwenge, cyangwa iterambere ryinkingo.
