Abstract

The homogeneous oxidn. of D-glucose and D-fructose with O in aq., alk. solns. is studied, and a reaction scheme proposed to account for the obsd. reaction products. Formation of enolate anions is followed by non-oxidative reactions (involving double-bond migration and cleavage) and by oxidative formation of peroxides, leading to the formation, of D-arabinonic, D-erythronic, D-glyceric, glycolic, and formic acids.
