Product Information
| Description: | D-Erythrose is a four-carbon sugar bearing a reducing aldehyde group, containing two adjacent chiral carbon atoms. It serves as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis, such as for the production of erythritol. D-Erythrose is a crucial intermediate in various metabolic pathways, particularly in the biosynthesis of amino acids and nucleotides. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
