DL-Threitol

DL-Threitol (CAS No.: 7493-90-5, CAT No.: SRCT-006) is a chiral four-carbon sugar alcohol with the molecular formula C₄H₁₀O₄. It is the racemic mixture of the stereoisomers of threitol, structurally related to other sugar alcohols like erythritol. It appears as a colorless solid crystallizing in a complex hydrogen-bonded structure and is highly soluble in water and polar solvents.

DL-Threitol is widely used as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis, biochemical research, and as a cryoprotectant agent. It plays roles in metabolic studies and has applications in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations due to its polyol properties.
