:5-deoxy-D-lyxose
Description:
5-deoxy-D-lyxose is a monosaccharide, specifically a deoxysugar, which means it is a sugar molecule that lacks one oxygen atom compared to its parent sugar. This compound is an aldose, characterized by the presence of an aldehyde group (-CHO) at one end of the molecule. 5-deoxy-D-lyxose is a C5 sugar, indicating it contains five carbon atoms. Its structure features a linear form as well as cyclic forms, which can exist in equilibrium in solution. The absence of a hydroxyl group at the 5th carbon distinguishes it from its related sugars, such as D-lyxose. This sugar is of interest in biochemical research and can be involved in various metabolic pathways. It may also serve as a building block for more complex carbohydrates or glycosides. In terms of physical properties, like many sugars, it is likely to be soluble in water and may exhibit sweet taste characteristics. Its applications can extend to fields such as pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, where it may play a role in the synthesis of other compounds.
