CAS 3327-63-7: Ribono-1,4-lactone

Description: Ribono-1,4-lactone is a cyclic sugar derivative, specifically a lactone formed from ribose, a five-carbon aldopentose sugar. It is characterized by its five-membered ring structure, which includes an ester functional group resulting from the intramolecular reaction of the hydroxyl group with the carbonyl group of ribose. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of multiple hydroxyl groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. Ribono-1,4-lactone plays a role in biochemical pathways, particularly in the metabolism of nucleotides and nucleic acids. Its structure allows it to participate in various enzymatic reactions, making it relevant in biochemistry and molecular biology. The compound is also of interest in the study of sugar metabolism and the synthesis of ribonucleotides. As with many lactones, it may exhibit stability under certain conditions but can be sensitive to hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases.
