L-Altrose, CAS:1949-88-8

L-AltroseL-Altrose is a carbohydrate that is used as a nutrient and sweetener. It is a dextrose monomer with an L-arabinose side chain. L-Altrose has been shown to be a stereoselective carbon source that can be used in the synthesis of various biologically active compounds, such as antibiotics. L-Altrose has also been shown to stimulate growth of yeast cells in the absence of oxygen by providing an extracellular carbon source. This compound can be hydrolyzed by ring-opening or benzoylation reactions to yield dextrose.CAS Number1949-88-8Product Name(2R,3S,4S,5S)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanalIUPAC Name(2R,3S,4S,5S)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanalMolecular FormulaC6H12O6Molecular Weight180.16 g/molInChIInChI=1S/C6H12O6/c7-1-3(9)5(11)6(12)4(10)2-8/h1,3-6,8-12H,2H2/t3-,4-,5+,6-/m0/s1InChI KeyGZCGUPFRVQAUEE-AZGQCCRYSA-NSMILESC(C(C(C(C(C=O)O)O)O)O)OCanonical SMILESC(C(C(C(C(C=O)O)O)O)O)OIsomeric SMILESC([C@@H]([C@@H]([C@@H]([C@H](C=O)O)O)O)O)O
