On glycerophosphate

Based on a web search the substance CAS 57-03-4 seems to refer to the free acid, probable in as racemic mixture. However, the confusion about Alpha Glycerol Phosphate is so widespread that even ß-glycerolphosphate (a definitively different compound !!) can be found with the same CAS number on the web...

The compound from Sigma (that was used previously and is no longer available) was the sodium salt of the racemat (CAS# 1555-56-2 (anhydrous), CAS#: 3325-00-6 (hexahydrate, maybe more CAS numbers) see: Glycerophosphate

If my guess in respect to CAS 57-03-4 is correct (free acid, racemic) this would be a reasonable substitution for the racemic sodium form, only with a bit more work to prepare the stock solution. As you can see from the link there are some companies offering the racemic sodium salt, however we have not yet checked if the substance is REALLY available and we have not done any application tests. - Fasching Mario 2014-07-09
