| Popis: | Methyl β-D-ribopyranoside (1) and methyl β-D-xylopyranoside (2) were degraded by oxygen (0.682 MPa partial pressure) in 1.25 M sodium hydroxide at 120°C. The degradations of 1 and 2 were similar to the previously reported degradations of 1,5-anhydroribitol (3) and 1,5-anhydroxylitol (4), respectively.4 Both hydrogen peroxide and stable organic peroxides were detected in the reactions of 1 and 2. The riboside 1 degraded faster than the xyloside 2. This difference in reactivity is proposed to be a function of the relative acidity of the glycosides. Ionization of hydroxyl groups is postulated to be favored in 1, thus facilitating the initiation of the free radical degradation. The degradations of both 1 and 2 exhibited complex kinetics indicating autoinhibited reactions. In spite of the differences in reactivity, glycosidic bond cleavage occurred in approximately 60% of the degradations for both 1 and 2. C-1 radicals, resulting from abstraction of the anomeric hydrogen atom, are proposed to cause th... |
