ACTION OF ULTRASOUND ON DEOXYGENATED AQUEOUS SOLUTONS OF D-GLUCOSE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0008-6215(88)84023-0

The action of ultrasound on deoxygenated aqueous solutions of D-glucose yielded D-gluconic acid, D-arabino-hexos-2-ulose, D-ribo-hexos-3-ulose, D-xylo-hexos-4- and -5-ulose, D-gluco-hexodialdose, 2-deoxy-D-arabino-hexonic acid, 5-deoxy-D-xylo-hexonic acid, 6-deoxy-L-threo-hexos-4,5-diulose, and 6-deoxy-D-threo-hexos-2,5-diulose.There was little cleavage of the carbon skeleton.The ratio of the deoxy compounds to the sum of the hexosuloses and the hexodialdose was smaller on sonolysis than on γ-irradiation.
