Nitric Acid → Glucose-6-Phosphate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 22.5 ml of a 0.67 M aqueous solution of cis-[Pt(NH3)2 -(H2O)](NO3)2, the pH of which had been adjusted to 4 with sodium hydroxide, there was added 4.23 grams disodium D-glucose-6-phosphate dissolved in 30 ml of water. The pH of the reaction mixture was then adjusted to 5.0 using 2 M nitric acid. The solution was stoppered, and stirred for 42 days as in the previous examples. The above-identified, water-soluble blue complex was isolated by the method described in Example 1 in a yield of 2.69 grams.
