HCID 86614951, compound → Carbon Dioxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.5 ml of a 31% hydrogen peroxyde solution were added to 5 ml of a 1M potassium 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate (KDG) solution at 25° C. The progression of KDG decarboxylation was followed both by the observation of bubbles resulting from the release of carbon dioxide and by the disappearance of KDG using the thin layer chromatography protocol described in example 2. Typically, after a 3 h period of reaction the concentration of residual KDG was less than 10 mM.
