Conclusions

Indirect electrosynthesis of 2-osuloses from aldopentoses and ketohexoses has shown to be an interesting tool for reducing the amount of chemical oxidant (copper (II) involved in the reaction. However, the experimental conditions under which the reaction is carried out are far from those industrially acceptable. Nevertheless, the potential advantages of the electrolytic method, as well as its interest in organic synthesis, are so important that further effort should be spent in studying this procedure.
