arabinose acid | arabinose acid, also known as gum sugar acid, chemical name is 2,3,4, 5-tetrahydroxyvaleric acid, molecular formula C5H10O6. Molecular weight 166.13. It has both D-type and L-type configurations. D-type: By dilute acetic acid crystallization, melting point 114~116 ℃,[α]D25 10.5 °(C = 6.0), soluble in water, ethanol-soluble, insoluble in acetone. L-form: crystallized from ethanol or methanol, melting point 118~119 ℃,[α]D20-9.6 ° →-41.7 °. Soluble in water. It has the properties of acid and alcohol, reacts with alkali to form salt, and generates lactone by heating. The D-and L-forms can be obtained from the oxidation of D-and L-arabinose, respectively, with brominated water. Purposes: for organic synthesis. |
