Participants
| Role | Name | HCID | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactant | (2R,3S,4R,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanal | HCID 107526 | — |
| Catalyst | Nickel | HCID 935 | — |
| Product | Sorbitol | HCID 5780 | — |
| Product | D-(-)-Fructose | HCID 5984 | — |
| Product | Mannitol | HCID 6251 | — |
Reaction Steps
This hydrogenation was conducted as that described above except that the catalyst was a nickel on titanium dioxide which had been reduced at 450° C. Analysis showed only 63 percent glucose conversion to afford sorbitol, mannitol, and fructose in selectivity of 44, 4, and 27 percent respectively.
