Sodium (2R,3R,4S)-2,3,4,6-tetrahydroxy-5-oxohexyl phosphate → Fructose 6-phosphate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 18.5 ml of 0.67 M cis-[Pt(NH3)2 (H2O)2 ](NO3)2, 4.5 grams of disodium D-fructose-6-phosphate were added. The solution was stoppered with a porous plug and stirred for 49 days. At the end of that time, a blue, water-insoluble precipitate had formed. It was collected, and then washed by alternate centrifugation and resuspension. The precipitate was vacuum dried to yield 3.6 grams of the above-identified complex.
