Properties
Description
D-Mannofuranose is the five-membered ring form of the six-carbon sugar mannose, expected to be water-soluble and relevant in understanding the different cyclic forms of monosaccharides.
Molecular Formula
C6H12O6
Source
Chemical synthesis
Solubility
D-Mannofuranose is soluble in water and organic solvents such as DCM, DMF, and DMSO.
Identity
Confirmed by MS/NMR.
Applications
D-Mannofuranose, the furanose form of mannose, can be investigated for its recognition by specific enzymes or receptors that prefer this ring structure.
