Sulfoquinovose and its aldonic acid: Their preparation and oxidation to 2-sulfoacetaldehyde by periodate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0008-6215(97)00112-2

6-Deoxy-6-C-sulfo-D-glucopyranose (sulfoquinovose) has been prepared and characterised as its brucinium and potassium salts. The bis- cyclohexylammonium salt of its aldonic acid, 6-deoxy-6-C-sulfo-D-gluconic acid, has also been obtained. Their oxidation by sodium periodate gives 2- sulfoacetaldehyde.
