Participants

Reaction Steps

D-Fucose (6-deoxy D-galactose) was reduced [a composition in total of 500 ml containing D-fucose at 1% and 20 ml of the Raney-nickel catalyst] to produce D-fucitol (6-deoxy D-galactitol). FIG. 57(a) shows HPLC analysis results of D-fucose before reduction and FIG. 57(b) shows HPLC analysis results of 6-deoxy L-galactitol after the reduction. The optical rotation of 6-deoxy L-galactitol was +1.7, and FIG. 58 shows 13C NMR spectrum of 6-deoxy L-galactitol.
