Abstract
A new crystalline seven-carbon branched-chain carbohydrate has been synthesized by application of the oxo reaction to 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-galactal. Periodate oxidation of the sugar alcohol was carried out to determine its structure. Crystalline benzoate and p-nitro-benzoate derivatives were obtained.
