5-Deoxy-L-arabinose(5-Deoxy-L-arabinose) is a monosaccharide with the chemical formula C5H10O4. It is a white crystalline powder, soluble in water and ethanol, insoluble in ether.

5-Deoxy-L-arabinose is widely used in biochemistry, especially in enzymology and metabolism research. It is one of the components of the nucleic acid arabinucleotide, so it is often used as a label or probe in the study of DNA and RNA. In addition, it can also be used to synthesize biologically active molecules, such as antibiotics and drugs.

5-Deoxy-L-arabinose can be synthesized by a variety of routes. One of the commonly used methods is to convert L-arabinose to 5-Deoxy-L-arabinose by an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Under normal use and storage conditions, 5-Deoxy-L-arabinose is relatively safe. However, it may have a certain irritant and allergic reaction to the human body. During use, care should be taken to avoid direct contact with the skin and mouth, and should be operated in a well-ventilated environment. In case of accidental contact or inhalation, seek medical attention immediately.
