D-[2-^13C]threo-pent-2-ulose is a stable isotopically labeled form of a pentose sugar, specifically a ketopentose. It is characterized by the presence of a carbon-13 isotope at the second carbon position, which is useful in various biochemical and metabolic studies, particularly in tracing metabolic pathways and understanding carbohydrate metabolism. This compound typically exists in a cyclic form, often as a furanose, and can participate in various biochemical reactions, including those involving enzymatic transformations. Its labeling with ^13C allows for enhanced detection and analysis using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The compound is of interest in research fields such as metabolic engineering, biochemistry, and isotopic labeling studies. As with many sugars, it is expected to be soluble in water and may exhibit typical sugar-like reactivity, including participation in glycosylation reactions. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with any chemical substance, particularly in laboratory settings.
