Ribulose is a ketopentose — a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms, and including a ketone functional group.It has chemical formula C 5 H 10 O 5.Two enantiomers are possible, d-ribulose (d-erythro-pentulose) and l-ribulose (l-erythro-pentulose).
Two older prefixes still commonly used to distinguish diastereomers are threo and erythro. In the case of saccharides, when drawn in the Fischer projection the erythro isomer has two identical substituents on the same side and the threo isomer has them on opposite sides. [ 7 ]
Erythrosine, also known as E127 and Red No. 3, is an organoiodine compound, specifically a derivative of fluorone. It is a red-pink dye used for food coloring, cosmetics, hair coloring, pet products, and diverse industrial colorings. [2] [3] It is the disodium salt of 2,4,5,7-tetraiodofluorescein. [2]
In the U.S., Red Dye No. 3 is a synthetic coloring used in candy, medications, and baked goods. You probably know it best from the hue it gives bright-red decorating icing, Valentine's Day sweets ...
Four isomers of methylphenidate are possible, since the molecule has two chiral centers. One pair of threo isomers and one pair of erythro are distinguished, from which primarily d-threo-methylphenidate exhibits the pharmacologically desired effects. [119] [149] The erythro diastereomers are pressor amines, a property not shared with the threo ...
Epimerization is a chemical process where an epimer is converted to its diastereomeric counterpart. [1] It can happen in condensed tannins depolymerization reactions. Epimerization can be spontaneous (generally a slow process), or catalysed by enzymes, e.g. the epimerization between the sugars N -acetylglucosamine and N -acetylmannosamine ...
In this approach: identify the chiral center, label the four atoms directly attached to the stereogenic center in question, assign priorities according to the sequence rule ( from 1 to 4), rotate the molecule until the lowest priority (number 4) substituent is away from the observer/viewer, draw a curve from number 1 to number 2 to number 3 ...
These are NOT the IUPAC descriptors for relative stereochemistry. There are multiple reasons: There are multiple requirements for erythro and threo to be valid: 1. The principal carbon chain cannot be assigned an erythro/threo descriptor. 2. Only substituents of the highest priorities can be compared. 3. Substituents must be adjacent.
