(2S,3R)-2-Methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxybutane - Introduction
2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol (2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H12O4, which has the appearance of a white crystalline powder.
Nature:
2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol is a compound that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It is stable at room temperature, not easy to be light, thermal decomposition.
Use:
2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol plays an important role in biochemistry. As a precursor, it participates in the catalytic reaction of isopentane thiourea synthase (IPPS) and isopentenyl diphosphatase (IDS). These reactions are associated with the synthesis of isopentane diphosphate (IPP) and diisopentenyl diphosphate (DMAPP), which play important metabolic and signaling roles in organisms.
Method:
The preparation method of 2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol is usually by chemical synthesis. A commonly used method is the alcoholysis of methyl 3-benzoate with ethanol to give ethyl 3-benzoate and then 2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol by reduction in the presence of alkaline sodium hydroxide.
Safety Information:
There are no studies on the specific toxicity and safety of 2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol. However, in general, relevant laboratory and industrial safety regulations should be followed for the use and handling of any chemical, including appropriate protective measures and equipment to ensure personal safety and environmental protection. During use, care should be taken to avoid skin contact and inhalation. If contact occurs accidentally, rinse with plenty of water immediately and seek medical help.
