Abstract
Various terminal-substituted pentitols and hexitols, which possessed either the L-lyxo- or the D-ribo-configuration at the three contiguous carbon atoms adjacent to the terminal carbon atom, were oxidized to ketoses by Acetobactersuboxydans. The terminal hydroxyl group of the polyol was replaced by -H, -OMe, -SEt, and -OAc groups; several 1,1-dithioacetal derivatives of aldoses were also tested. The preparation of 1-O-acetyl-DL-galactitol, 1-deoxy-1-S-ethyl-D-arabitol, and 6-deoxy-6-S-ethyl-L-sorbose are described. 6-Deoxy-6-S-ethyl-L-sorbose was prepared by the microbiological oxidation of 1-deoxy-1-S-ethyl-D-glucitol.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
