Description

Mannono-1,5-Lactone CAS NO 10366-75-3 is a high-purity sugar lactone derived from mannose, serving as a versatile chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in providing a rigid, functionalized scaffold for producing pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and specialty materials. This compound is essential for research and production in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries, where precise molecular architecture is required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral precursor for the synthesis of antiviral drugs, glycosidase inhibitors, and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Used as a starting material or building block for complex organic molecules, including natural product analogs and specialty surfactants.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Functions as a mild exfoliating agent (polyhydroxy acid) and a moisturizing component in advanced skincare formulations.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies, particularly for glycosidases and carbohydrate-processing enzymes.
• Food & Flavor Industry: Acts as a precursor for flavor compounds and can be used in the production of certain food additives.
• Material Science: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of biodegradable polymers and hydrogels.

Quality Control

Our Mannono-1,5-Lactone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
