L(-)-Arabitol, 5 g, plastic

L(-)-Arabitol is applied in various analytical and synthetic procedures as a chiral sugar alcohol. It has a molecular formula of C(5)H(10)O(5) and a molecular weight of 150.12 g/mol. This specific L(-)-Arabitol is offered in a plastic container with a net weight of 5 grams, making it suitable for lab-scale applications requiring high purity materials. Its structure lends itself to being used as a chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it serves as a valuable standard for the determination of enantiomeric excess in reactions involving other sugars and sugar derivatives.
