  • Applications

    alpha-L-sorbopyranose is an important precursor in established industrial routes to ascorbic acid (vitamin C), commonly used as an intermediate to produce 2-keto-L-gulonic acid and related sugar derivatives; it also serves as a chiral building block for pharmaceutical synthesis; in analytical work, it is used as a reference standard for carbohydrate analysis and as a substrate in carbohydrate chemistry research; it can be converted into sugar-derived intermediates for the preparation of pure chemicals and research-grade compounds.
