D-ERYTHRONOLACTONE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

D-ERYTHRONOLACTONE is white to light yellow crystal powde

Uses

D-ERYTHRONOLACTONE is a chiral synthon used for the synthesis of certain natural products such as the leukotrienes

Uses

D-erythrono-1,4-lactone is a potential substrates of dihydroxy acid dehydratase.

Uses

A chiral synthon used for the synthesis of certain natural products such as the leukotrienes.

Definition

ChEBI: Erythrono-1,4-lactone is a butan-4-olide that is dihydrofuran-2-one substituted at C-3 and C-4 by hydroxy groups (the 3R,4R-diastereomer). It is a butan-4-olide and a diol.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise it from EtOAc (20 parts) or isoPrOH (3 parts). [Baker & MacDonald J Am Chem Soc 82 230 1960, Glattfeld & Forbrich J Am Chem Soc 56 1209 1934, Weidenhagen & Wegner Chem Ber 72 2010 1939, Musich & Rapoport J Am Chem Soc 100 4865 1978, Beilstein 18/2 V 457.]
