D-Threose (CAS 95-43-2)
QUICK LINKS
D-Threose is a monosaccharide that plays a role in the field of organic chemistry and biochemistry, particularly in the study of carbohydrate structure and metabolism. In synthetic chemistry, it serves as a building block for the assembly of more complex sugar molecules and for the synthesis of analogs that mimic natural sugars in biological systems. Researchers also use D-Threose in chiral pool synthesis due to its enantiomeric purity, which is valuable for producing stereospecific compounds. In the study of prebiotic chemistry, D-Threose is of interest because of its potential role in the origins of life, where it may have been involved in the formation of the first biomolecules. Additionally, this sugar is utilized in the development of glycoconjugates for research in glycoscience, including the exploration of carbohydrate-protein interactions. The simple structure of D-Threose allows for modifications that can facilitate the study of specific biochemical pathways and processes.
