CAS: 172510-30-4

5-O-Benzyl-1-deoxy-D-xylulose is a sugar which is obtained by the catalytic hydrogenolysis of 5-o-benzyl-1,5-pentanediol. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of xylitol from sorbitol and can be used in the production of benzaldehyde. The reaction mechanism involves aldol condensation with elimination of water to form hydroxyacetone, followed by chemoenzymatic dehydration to give 1,5 pentanediol. This compound is also used as an intermediate for the synthesis of D-xylulose.
