Saccharic acid 1,4-lactone

Description:
Saccharic acid 1,4-lactone, also known as glucaric acid lactone, is a cyclic ester derived from saccharic acid. It is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and is soluble in water, which is indicative of its polar nature due to the presence of hydroxyl groups. The compound has a molecular formula that reflects its structure, featuring multiple hydroxyl groups that contribute to its reactivity and potential applications in various fields. Saccharic acid 1,4-lactone is known for its role in biochemistry, particularly in carbohydrate metabolism, and has been studied for its potential health benefits, including its ability to chelate metal ions. Additionally, it may serve as a precursor in the synthesis of other organic compounds. The lactone form is stable under normal conditions but can undergo hydrolysis to revert to saccharic acid in the presence of water. Its safety profile indicates low toxicity, making it suitable for various applications, including food and pharmaceutical industries.
