The title compound, C18H26O11, was synthesized by a condensation reaction of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-d-galactopyranosyl bromide and butyric acid. The acetoxymethyl and butyrate groups are located on the same side of the pyran ring, showing the β configuration for the d-glycosyl ester; the butyl group adopts an extend conformation, the C—C—C—C torsion angle being 179.1 (7)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
