Reaction equation

[O:1]=[CH:2][C@H:3]([C@@H:5]([C@@H:7]([CH2:9][OH:10])[OH:8])[OH:6])[OH:4].O=C[C@H]([C@H]([C@@H](CO)O)O)O>>[CH2:2]([OH:1])[C@H:3]([C@H:5]([C@@H:7]([CH2:9][OH:10])[OH:8])[OH:6])[OH:4]

Participants

Reactant 2

HCID 65550Lyxose

HCID 66308D-Arabinose

Product 1

HCID 94154D-Arabitol

Procedure

Finally, by catalytic hydrogenation of this mixture of D-arabinose and D-lyxose, and still without separating the two principal components of the mixture, D-arabitol is obtained in the practically pure state since D-lyxitol is a synonym of D-arabitol.

Workup

customstill without separating the two principal components of the mixture
