In the final phase of the formose reaction sugars are formed by the reaction of glycolaldehyde, glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone.The application of high-pressure liquid chromatography allows for the first time to investigate intermediate and final products quantitatively.The results of kinetical investigations allow to suggest a reaction mechanism for the secondary reaction in the final phase of the formose reaction.This mechanism is compared with that of the starting phase and other known mechanisms.From the results metal ion-catalyzed aldol reactions have to be assumed.
