The oxidation kinetics of D-xylose, D-ribose, and L-arabinose by chloramine-B (CAB) in alkaline medium at 35 deg C obey the rate law, rate = ->.Based on the results, a mechanism is suggested involving the anion of the β anomer of the pentose.The addition of reaction products, benzenesulphonamide and NaCl, had no effect on the rate of reaction whereas increase in the ionic strength and dielectric constant of the medium increased the rate.Proton-inventory studies were made in H2O-D2O mixtures.The rate of oxidation of pentoses follows the order: D-xylose > D-ribose > L-arabinose.Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for the reaction were computed from the Arrhenius plots.The isokinetic temperature β = 416 K, which is much above the experimental temperature, suggests enthalpy-controlled reactions.

Abundant sugars of five and six carbon atoms are promising candidates for the production of valuable platform chemicals. Here, we describe the catalytic dehydrogenation of several pentoses and hexoses into their corresponding sugar acids with the concomitant formation of molecular hydrogen. This biomass transformation is promoted by highly active and selective catalysts based on iridium(III) complexes containing a triazolylidene (trz) as ligand. Monosaccharides are converted into sugar acids in an easy and sustainable manner using only catalyst and water, and in contrast to previously reported procedures, in the absence of any additive. The reaction is therefore very clean, and highly selective, which avoids the tedious purification and product separation. Mechanistic investigations using 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopies and ESI mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) indicate the formation of an unprecedented diiridium-hydride as dormant species that correspond to the catalyst resting state.

Energy-efficient catalytic conversion of biomass intermediates to functional chemicals can make bio-products viable. Herein, we report an efficient and low temperature aerobic oxidation of xylose to xylaric acid, a promising bio-based chemical for the production of glutaric acid, over commercial catalysts in water. Among several heterogeneous catalysts investigated, Pt/ C exhibits the best activity. Systematic variation of reaction parameters in the pH range of 2.5 to 10 suggests that the reaction is fast at higher temperatures but high C C scission of intermediate C5-oxidized products to low carbon carboxylic acids undermines xylaric acid selectivity. The C C cleavage is also high in basic solution. The oxidation at neutral pH and 60 8C achieves the highest xylaric acid yield (64 %). O2 pressure and Pt amount have significant influence on the reactivity. Decar-boxylation of short chain carboxylic acids results in formation of CO2, causing some carbon loss; however, such decarboxyla-tion is slow in the presence of xylose. The catalyst retained comparable activity, in terms of product selectivity, after five cycles with no sign of Pt leaching.
Expanding the reaction space of aldolases using hydroxypyruvate as a nucleophilic substrate

Aldolases are key biocatalysts for stereoselective C-C bond formation allowing access to polyoxygenated chiral units through direct, efficient, and sustainable synthetic processes. The aldol reaction involving unprotected hydroxypyruvate and an aldehyde offers access to valuable polyhydroxy-α-keto acids. However, this undescribed aldolisation is highly challenging, especially regarding stereoselectivity. This reaction was explored using, as biocatalysts, a collection of aldolases selected from biodiversity. Several enzymes that belong to the same pyruvate aldolase Pfam family (PF03328) were found to produce the desired hexulosonic acids from hydroxypyruvate and d-glyceraldehyde with complementary stereoselectivities. One of them was selected for the proof of concept as a biocatalytic tool to prepare five (3S,4S) aldol adducts through an eco-friendly process.
