D-Glucoheptono-1,4-lactone（Cat No.:R046045）is a seven-carbon sugar lactone derived from D-glucoheptonic acid, where the carboxylic acid at the first carbon forms a cyclic ester (lactone) with the hydroxyl group at the fourth carbon. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in water, and often used as a mild oxidizing agent or metal chelator. In biochemical and synthetic contexts, it serves as a key intermediate in carbohydrate chemistry, particularly for synthesizing heptose derivatives. Its lactone structure makes it useful in studying enzymatic reactions involving ring-opening mechanisms and sugar metabolism.
