Product Information
Name:1,5-Anhydroxylitol
Brand:Biosynth
Description:1,5-Anhydroxylitol is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and methanol. 1,5-Anhydroxylitol is an intermediate in the metabolic pathway of glyceric acid. It can be produced by the oxidation of sulfoxide or by reduction of glycols. 1,5-Anhydroxylitol has been shown to have acidic properties with a pKa value of 3.2. The protonation of 1,5-anhydroxylitol is postulated to involve hydroxide ions from water or hydroxide solution. The hydroxide ion reacts with the hydroxyl group on the ring at the 5th carbon atom to produce a reactive metastable form that quickly decomposes into glyceric acid and water.
