D-arabinono-1,4-lactone - Risk and Safety
D-arabinono-1,4-lactone - Introduction
D-Arabinono-1,4-lactone(D-arabinol -1,4-lactone) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H6O5. It is the cyclization product of D-arabinose as a white solid.
D-Arabinono-1,4-lactone can be converted into vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in vivo, so it is often used as a raw material for vitamin C. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant, which can promote the function of the immune system, promote the absorption of iron and the treatment of ascorbic acid deficiency.
The method for preparing D-Arabinono-1,4-lactone is generally obtained by acid-catalyzed cyclization of D-arabinose.
Regarding safety information, D-Arabinono-1,4-lactone is a relatively safe compound. However, like other chemicals, it should follow appropriate laboratory safety practices. Rinse immediately with plenty of water when in contact with eyes or skin. If ingestion occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
