D-Erythrose-4-13C is a stable isotope-labeled form of the sugar D-erythrose, which is a four-carbon aldose. As a chemical substance, it features a molecular structure that includes four carbon atoms, with one of the carbon atoms being labeled with the carbon-13 isotope, making it useful for various applications in metabolic studies and tracer experiments. In solution, particularly in water, D-erythrose-4-13C exhibits typical characteristics of monosaccharides, such as solubility and the ability to participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and reduction. It is a colorless, odorless liquid when dissolved, and it can undergo mutarotation, leading to an equilibrium between its open-chain and cyclic forms. The presence of the 13C label allows for enhanced detection and analysis using techniques like nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. This compound is often utilized in biochemical research to trace metabolic pathways and study carbohydrate metabolism in living organisms.
