Popis: The side products formed in the TEMPO-mediated oxidation of glucose to glucaric acid were determined by GC. Next to glucaric acid, gluconic acid, the intermediate in the oxidation, the degradation products, oxalic acid, tartronic acid, meso- (erythraric) and DL-threaric (tartaric) acid were detected. Chiral GC determined the DL-tartaric acid to be non-racemic mixtures of L- and D-tartaric acids, with inverse D/L-ratios depending on the oxidation of D- or L-glucose. The origin of all degradation products is rationalized. This study details a fast screening method to optimize the reaction conditions toward minimal degradation.
