Arabinofuranose

Description:
Arabinofuranose is a pentose sugar, specifically an aldopentose, characterized by its five-carbon structure and the presence of an aldehyde functional group. It exists predominantly in a furanose form, which is a five-membered ring structure, although it can also exist in an open-chain form. This sugar is a component of various polysaccharides, particularly in plant cell walls and hemicelluloses. Arabinofuranose is known for its role in the structural integrity of plant materials and is involved in various biochemical processes. It is soluble in water and exhibits a sweet taste, typical of many sugars. The molecule's stereochemistry is significant, as it has multiple chiral centers, leading to different isomeric forms. Arabinofuranose is also utilized in research and industrial applications, including the synthesis of oligosaccharides and as a building block in carbohydrate chemistry. Its CAS number, 13221-22-2, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and literature.
