:1,2,3,4-Butanetetrol, 2-methyl-, (2S,3R)-
Description:
1,2,3,4-Butanetetrol, 2-methyl-, (2S,3R)-, also known by its CAS number 58698-37-6, is a chiral organic compound characterized by its four hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a butane backbone, specifically at the 1, 2, 3, and 4 positions, with a methyl group at the second carbon. This compound is a type of sugar alcohol and is typically colorless and viscous in nature. Its stereochemistry, denoted by the (2S,3R) configuration, indicates specific spatial arrangements of its atoms, which can influence its biological activity and reactivity. 1,2,3,4-Butanetetrol is soluble in water due to the presence of multiple hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. This solubility makes it useful in various applications, including as a potential sweetener or humectant in food products, as well as in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Its properties, such as viscosity and hygroscopicity, are influenced by its molecular structure, making it an interesting compound for research in organic chemistry and material science.
