Based on the SMILES representation O=CC(=O)C[C@H](O)CO, the molecule can be described as:
The molecule is a ketoaldopentose and deoxypentose that is 2-oxopentanal that is substituted at positions 4 and 5 by hydroxy groups (the 4S) enantiomer). It is a 2-oxo aldehyde, a primary alcohol, a secondary alcohol, a glycol, a ketoaldopentose and a deoxypentose.
