Reaction Steps

The enzymatic oxidation of glycolic acid in Example 5 was repeated at pH 8.5, and using initial concentrations of glycolic acid and AMPA of 0.50M and 0.40M, respectively. After 16.5 h, the HPLC yields of glyoxylate, formate, and oxalate were 85.4%, 3.5%, and 6.3%, respectively, and 1.4% glycolate remained. The final pH of the reaction mixture was 7.0.
