D-[1-^13C]threo-pent-2-ulose is a stable isotopically labeled sugar, specifically a pentose sugar that incorporates a carbon-13 isotope at the first carbon position. This compound is a ketose, characterized by its five carbon atoms and a ketone functional group, which is typically found at the second carbon in pentoses. The threo configuration indicates the specific stereochemistry of the molecule, which is important for its biological activity and interactions. As a labeled compound, it is often used in metabolic studies and tracer experiments to investigate carbohydrate metabolism and pathways in biological systems. The presence of the ^13C isotope allows for enhanced detection and analysis using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. This compound is soluble in water and exhibits typical reactivity associated with sugars, including participation in glycosylation reactions and potential involvement in various biochemical pathways. Its unique isotopic labeling makes it a valuable tool in research and analytical chemistry.
