Compound Q&A
How is L-Fructose (CAS: 7776-48-9) typically synthesized?
Answer
L-Fructose can be synthesized through the inversion of D-fructose by L-iduronate 2-sulfatase, or by chemical inversion of D-fructose with NaBH4 in the presence of a base. Another method involves the enzymatic conversion of D-fructose to L-fructose using the enzyme D-fructose-L-iduronate 2-sulfotransferase. These methods yield L-fructose with high selectivity and good yield.
