Synthesis of S-Tetra-O-Acetyl Galactopyranosyl Aryldithiocarbamates

B. S. Gabhe and S. P. Deshmukh

The interaction of tetra-O-acetyl galactopyranosyl bromide with ammonium aryldithiocarbamates results in the formation of S-tetra-O-acetyl galactopyranosyl aryldithiocarbamates. The identities of these newly synthesized thiogalactosides have been established on the basis of usual chemical transformation, IR, 1 H NMR and mass spectral studies. The compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against common pathogens like E. coli, S. aureus, P. vulgaris, S. typhi, C. albicans and A. niger. The compounds were found sensitive to these microorganisms.
