Aldolases are key biocatalysts for stereoselective C-C bond formation allowing access to polyoxygenated chiral units through direct, efficient, and sustainable synthetic processes. The aldol reaction involving unprotected hydroxypyruvate and an aldehyde offers access to valuable polyhydroxy-α-keto acids. However, this undescribed aldolisation is highly challenging, especially regarding stereoselectivity. This reaction was explored using, as biocatalysts, a collection of aldolases selected from biodiversity. Several enzymes that belong to the same pyruvate aldolase Pfam family (PF03328) were found to produce the desired hexulosonic acids from hydroxypyruvate and d-glyceraldehyde with complementary stereoselectivities. One of them was selected for the proof of concept as a biocatalytic tool to prepare five (3S,4S) aldol adducts through an eco-friendly process.

An analysis of the H2O2-induced breakdown and transformation of different keto-monosaccharides at physiological concentrations reveals that glycolate and other short-chained carbohydrates and organic acids are produced. Depletion of monosaccharides and glycolate synthesis occurs at increased rates as the length of the carbohydrate chain is decreased, and is significantly increased in the presence of trace amounts of Fe2+ ions (10 μM). Rates of monosaccharide depletion (initial concentration of 3 mM) observed were up to 1.55 mmol h-1 in the case of fructose, and 2.59 mmol h-1 in the case of dihydroxyacetone, depending upon pH, H2O2 concentration, temperature and the presence or absence of catalytic amounts of Fe2+. Glycolate was produced by dihydroxyacetone cleavage at rates up to 0.45 mmol h-1 in the absence, and up to 1.88 mmol h-1 in the presence of Fe2+ ions (pH 8). Besides glycolate, other sugars (ribose, glyceraldehyde, glucose), glucitol (sorbitol) and organic acids (formic and 2-oxogluconic acid) were produced in such H2O2-induced reactions with fructose or dihydroxyacetone. EPR measurements demonstrated the participation of the {radical dot}OH radical, especially at higher pH. Presence of metal ions at higher pH values, resulting in increased glycolate synthesis, was accompanied by enhanced hydroxyl radical generation. Observed changes in intensity of DEPMPO-OH signals recorded from dihydroxyacetone and fructose reactions demonstrate a strong correlation with changes in glycolate yield, suggesting that {radical dot}OH radical formation enhances glycolate synthesis. The results presented suggest that different mechanisms are responsible for the cleavage or other reactions (isomerisation, auto- or free-radical-mediated oxidation) of keto-monosaccharides depending of experimental conditions.

Page/Page column 40-42, (2010/02/09)
The invention relates to a method for the selective oxidation of a carbohydrate in the presence of a gold catalyst comprising gold particles distributed in a nanodispersed manner on a metal oxide support, and to a method for the selective oxidation of an oligosaccharide in the presence of a gold catalyst comprising gold particles distributed in a nanodispersed manner on a carbon or metal oxide support. The invention also relates to aldonic acid oxidation products produced using said method.

Reaction between fructose [F] and bromate (BrO3-) is an important component of the F+Ce4++BrO3-+H2SO4 oscillatory reaction. Kinetics of this reaction has been experimentally investigated. A reaction mechanism has been proposed which is supported by computer simulation.

2,5-Diketo-D-threo-hexonic acid (2,5-diketo-D-gluconic acid, 1), a crucial intermediate in the microbial production of L-threo-hex-2-enono-1,4-lactone (L-ascorbic acid, vitamin C), was isolated from the fermentation broth of bacterium Erwinia citreus ATCC 31623, and its regio- and stereo-selective hydrogenation, catalyzed by the water-soluble Ru(II) complex of tris(m-sulfophenyl)phosphine (TPPTS), was performed, The effect of hydrogen pressure, temperature, pH, and catalyst-to-substrate ratio on regio- and stereo-selectivity of the process was studied, at low pH, over 90% regioselectivity in favor of the reduction of the 5-keto group in 1 was achieved, affording L-xylo-2-hexulosonic acid (2-keto-L-gulonic acid, 2) as the main product. Maximal diastereoselectivity, i.e. ratio between 2 and 2-keto-n-gulonic acid (3) expressed as diastereomeric excess (d.e.%), amounted to ca. 50% and was not influenced by any of the above reaction parameters.

The oxidation of gluconic acid by chromium(VI) in perchloric acid has been found to follow the rate law: -dVI>/dt=(k'1 + k'2)+>2VI>, where k'1=(7.1+/-0.2)*10-4 M-2 s-1 and k'2=(9.4+/-0.2)*10-2 M-3 s-1.This rate law corresponds to the reaction leading to the formation of 2-ketogluconic acid by C-H cleavage when a 20-fold or higher excess of acid over chromium(VI) is employed.Buildup and decay of chromium(V) intermediates accompany the decay of chromium(VI).Chromium(V) rates of decay are similar or slower than those of chromium(VI), as observed by electron paramagnetic resonance (epr) and visible spectrophotometry.

Aldoses and aldonic acids have been oxidised with oxygen and air at 55 deg in water, using Pt/C catalysts.After oxidation of the reducing group, if available, the primary hydroxyl group is preferentially oxidised using an unmodified catalyst.Addition of a lead(II) salt changes the preference dramatically towards oxidation at the position α to the carboxyl group.Provided that oxygen transfer to the liquid phase is carefully controlled in order to prevent deactivation of the catalyst, 2-ketoaldonic acids can be prepared in high yields.

Preparation of 2-keto-aldonic acids, e.g., 2-keto-gluconic acid, by oxidizing an aldose, e.g. glucose, or aldonic acid in aqueous solution with molecular oxygen.

The pH of the solution is in the range of from 4 to 12 and preferably in the range of from 7 to 9. The reaction may be carried out at a temperature in the range of 0° to 200° C. and preferably in the range of from 25° to 80° C.
