Erythrose is a tetrose saccharide with the chemical formula C 4 H 8 O 4.It has one aldehyde group, and is thus part of the aldose family. The natural isomer is D-erythrose; it is a diastereomer of D-threose.
Two older prefixes still commonly used to distinguish diastereomers are threo and erythro. In the case of saccharides, when drawn in the Fischer projection the erythro isomer has two identical substituents on the same side and the threo isomer has them on opposite sides. [ 7 ]
Four isomers of methylphenidate are possible, since the molecule has two chiral centers. One pair of threo isomers and one pair of erythro are distinguished, from which primarily d-threo-methylphenidate exhibits the pharmacologically desired effects. [119] [149] The erythro diastereomers are pressor amines, a property not shared with the threo ...
Threose is a four-carbon monosaccharide with molecular formula C 4 H 8 O 4.It has a terminal aldehyde group rather than a ketone in its linear chain, and so is considered part of the aldose family of monosaccharides.
Erythorbic acid (isoascorbic acid, D-araboascorbic acid) is a stereoisomer (C5 epimer) of ascorbic acid (). [1] It is synthesized by a reaction between methyl 2-keto-D-gluconate and sodium methoxide.
E–Z configuration, or the E–Z convention, is the IUPAC preferred method of describing the absolute stereochemistry of double bonds in organic chemistry.It is an extension of cis–trans isomer notation (which only describes relative stereochemistry) that can be used to describe double bonds having two, three or four substituents.
Isomers themselves exist in many varieties but can generally be classified as structural isomers or stereoisomers. Structural isomers have a different ordering of bonds and/or different bond connectivity from one another, as in the case of hexane and its four other isomeric forms ( 2-methylpentane , 3-methylpentane , 2,2-dimethylbutane , and 2 ...
Ribulose is a ketopentose — a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms, and including a ketone functional group.It has chemical formula C 5 H 10 O 5.Two enantiomers are possible, d-ribulose (d-erythro-pentulose) and l-ribulose (l-erythro-pentulose).
