L-Iditol, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro- is a sugar alcohol derivative, specifically an anhydro form of L-iditol, which is a six-carbon polyol. This compound is characterized by the presence of two anhydro groups, resulting from the dehydration of hydroxyl groups at the 1,4 and 3,6 positions. It typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to its multiple hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds. The compound is of interest in various biochemical and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the study of sugar alcohols and their metabolic pathways. Its structural features contribute to its potential use as a sweetener or in the formulation of certain drugs. Additionally, L-iditol derivatives are often investigated for their roles in cellular processes and their potential health benefits, including their low glycemic index and suitability for diabetic diets. As with many sugar alcohols, it may also exhibit properties such as humectancy and stability under various conditions.
