Abstract

The structure of d-threo-2,5-hexodiulosonic acid (1) and various derivatives in solution was determined by ¹³C-n.m.r. spectroscopy to be a hydrated, pyranose form. The structures of the methyl ester of 1 and of its 5-(dimethyl acetal) were confirmed by chemical means and by X-ray structure analysis.

Determination of 2-keto-l-gulonic and other ketoaldonic and aldonic acids produced by ketogenic bacterial fermentation
1986, Analytical Biochemistry
The quantitative analysis of 2-keto-l-gulonic acid (2-KLG) produced by microbial fermentation is described. 2-KLG is separated from other aldonic and ketoaldonic acids by high-performance liquid chromatography on an Aminex anion exchange column with ammonium formate or potassium phosphate as the eluant. This is a rapid and simple method for routine analysis of a large number of samples generated by fermentation studies. Gas chromatography—mass spectrometry permits the qualitative and quantitative analysis of nanogram levels of 2-keto-l-gulonate in complex media and provides confirmation of the HPLC results. The methodologies presented are useful for the analysis of a number of aldonic and ketoaldonic acids.

The Composition of Reducing Sugars in Solution
1984, Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biochemistry
This chapter discusses the composition of reducing sugars in solution. Reducing sugars differ from most other organic compounds in one characteristic property. When a pure organic compound that is not a reducing sugar is dissolved in a solvent, it is certain that the solution will usually contain only one compound; but when a reducing sugar, above an aldotetrose or a 2-pentulose, is dissolved in water, a solution is obtained that always contains at least six compounds: two pyranoses, two furanoses, and an acyclic (open-chain) carbonyl form and its hydrate. There are also minute proportions of septanoses and dimers. Very few of these many compounds that are present in the equilibrium solutions of sugars have ever been isolated. The only method for separating them from the equilibrium mixture is by crystallization and that depends on the fortuitous presence of seed crystals. The chapter details about the pyranose form, the furanose form, and the septanose form. It also discusses the composition of aldoses, ketoses, and substituted and derived sugars in aqueous solution.
Determination of d-gluconic, 5-keto-d-gluconic, 2-keto-d- gluconic and 2,5-diketo-d-gluconic acids by high-performance liquid chromatography
1984, Journal of Chromatography A
The application of high-performance liquid chromatography to the quantitative analysis of d-gluconic, 5-keto-^d-gluconic, 2-keto-d-gluconic and 2,5-diketo-d-gluconic acids in biological fluids is described. Separation of these acids is achieved on a column packed with Aminex A-28 anion-exchange resin, using ammonium formate as the eluent. Samples are filtered through a 0.45-μm membrane and injected directly onto the column. Quantitation of gluconic acid in acidic solutions requires hydrolysis of the gluconolactones before injection.
Structure of dehydroisoascorbic acid isomers in solution
1981, Carbohydrate Research
N.m.r. spectroscopy (¹H and ¹³C) shows that dehydroisoascorbic acid (d-erythro-2,3-hexodiulosono-1,4-lactone) in solution is only partially similar to dehydroascorbic acid (l-threo-2,3-hexodiulosono-1,4-lactone). In N,N-dimethylformamide, the preponderant species is an asymmetric dimer, only 7% of the symmetric dimer is present, and other species are also detected. In water, significant differences between dehydroascorbic acid and dehydroisoascorbic acid are observed. In fresh, aqueous solutions, both acids are present as bicyclic lactones, but, with time, dehydroisoascorbic acid is transformed irreversibly into approximately equal amounts of two pyranose anomers. In contrast, dehydroascorbic acid mainly changes into a hydrated 1,4-lactone having a free side-chain. This difference is probably caused by strain in the lactone ring of dehydroisoascorbic acid, because of the proximity of O-4 and O-5 after formation of the furanoid ring. In water, this leads to opening of the lactone ring prior to the furanoid ring, and a simple equilibrium between iso-ascorbic acid and its primary oxidation product is lost.
Synthesis of L-ascorbic acid
1980, Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biochemistry
This chapter provides a summary of the methods developed for the synthesis of L-ascorbic acid. L-Ascorbic acid is a white, crystalline solid melting at 192°C and having, in water, a specific rotation at the sodium D line of +24°. In solution, L-ascorbic acid has a pK₁ of 4.17 and a pK₂ of 11.79. The more-acidic proton has been shown by both chemical and physical methods to be that of the 3-hydroxyl group. The structure of L-ascorbic acid in solution has been studied by C-NMR spectroscopy, suggesting that a variety of tautomeric structures is possible. L-Ascorbic acid has also been synthesized from D-galacturonic acid —a hexose derivative not as readily available as D-glucose. In the chapter, the methods of preparation of precursors in the various syntheses are discussed. Many of the methods used for the preparation of analogs are based on the procedures used for the synthesis of L-ascorbic acid. The synthesis and biological activity of a number of these analogs are reviewed in the chapter.
