  • Name: D-erythrose
  • Description: Erythrose, is a member of the class of compounds known as tetroses. Tetroses are monosaccharides in which the carbohydrate moiety contains four carbon atoms. Erythrose is very soluble (in water) an... d a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Erythrose can be found in blood, as well as in human cartilage tissue. Within the cell, erythrose is primarily located in the cytoplasm (predicted from logP). Erythrose exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Erythrose is found to be associated with schizophrenia. Erythrose was first isolated in 1849 from rhubarb by the French pharmacist Louis Feux Joseph Garot (1798-1869) and was named as such because of its red hue in the presence of alkali metals (ἐρυθρός, "red"). D-Erythrose is the natural isomer of erythrose, a tetrose saccharide with the chemical formula C4H8O4. It has one aldehyde group, and therefore is part of the aldose family. It is a syrupy liquid at room temperature.( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrose)
