L-Sorbose is the configuration of the naturally occurring sugar. It can be prepared from inexpensive O-benzylglucose.

Sorbose is a ketohexose often involved in the commercial production of vitamin C. It has been found to occur naturally in grapes. It has a role as a plant metabolite. Sorbose, L- has been reported in Punica granatum, Neocheiropteris palmatopedata, and Centaurea aspera with data available. See also: D-Fructose (annotation moved to).

Keto-L-sorbose is a L-sorbose. It is an enantiomer of a keto-D-sorbose. L- (-)-Sorbose has been reported in Panax ginseng and Carica papaya with data available. A ketose sugar that is commonly used in the commercial synthesis of ASCORBIC ACID. See also: L-Sorbose (annotation moved to). (3 S,4 R,5 S)-1,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexan-2-one.

2011年6月1日 · Despite the fact that L-sorbose has been widely used for the synthesis of vitamin C at an industrial level, its use in organic synthesis remains rare. However, a survey of the chemical literature...

2024年6月20日 · L Sorbose is a rare sugar with sweetness similar to sucrose, commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry. It serves as a critical starting material for the commercial production of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), an essential nutrient for human health.

2022年2月24日 · L-sorbose is the naturally-occurring type of sorbose. 1 It has been found at trace levels in certain plants and fruits such as cocoa beans. The bacterium Acetobacter xylinum produces sorbose as a secondary product through the oxidation of sorbitol.

L-Sorbose is a compound that is produced through the microbial oxidation of D-sorbitol, commonly used in the industrial synthesis of vitamin C. AI generated definition based on: Comprehensive Organic Synthesis (Second Edition), 2014

L-Sorbose belongs to the L-series of natural sugars and has a sweetness equivalent to sucrose. -Sorbose exists in L equilibrium between its open keto form and any of two pyranose and two furanose forms (Figure 1).

L-sorbose is not only present in the fruits of sorbus species like the mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia L.) but has become available also in large quantities as an intermediate of the commercial vitamin C synthesis.
