Natural Product Identification
Common Name2-Methylerythritol
Description2-Methylerythritol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar alcohols. These are hydrogenated forms of carbohydrate in which the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. 2-Methylerythritol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 2-Methylerythritol was first documented in 2004 (PMID: 15384409). A tetritol that is erythritol substituted by a methyl group at position 2.
