L-Erythrulose CAS 533-50-6

L-Erythrulose/L-(+)-Erythrulose is an organic compound that is a sugar alcohol. It can be synthesized from the aldol reaction of glycolaldehyde and dehydroascorbic acid, which are both found in natural sources. L-Erythrulose has shown to have intramolecular hydrogen transfer (H-transfer) reactions, where the hydroxyl group migrates from one C atom to another. This kinetic data was obtained using surface methodology on model systems containing l-erythrulose and bacteria with wild-type or mutant strains. The conformational properties of L-erythrulose were also investigated by comparing its chemical structures with those of other sugars.
