โฆ Synopsis
The concept of using precise kinetic measurements to aid in the characterization of organic compounds has been applied to sugars. Hydroxylamine reacts with sugars to form oximes; the rate of the reaction can be conveniently followed spectrophotometrically. At pH 6.5 and with an excess of hydroxylamine the rate of oxime formation follows apparent first-order kinetics and is sul5ciently discriminating to allow identification of many sugars. Kinetic evidence obtained in this study indicates that the reaction of ketoses and aldoses with hydroxylamine proceeds throu h a carbinolamine addition compound intermediate, analogous to that proposef for other aldehydes and ketones.

The following lines of evidence establish that oxime formation from pyruvic acid occurs with ratedetermining carbinolamine dehydration under acidic and neutral conditions. First, saturation effects observed at pH 7 are strongly suggestive of carbinolamine accumulation, requiring that dehydration of
## Abstract A pilot study was carried out to determine the yeast species associated with sugar cane peels recovered from three separate dumping sites found in Ojo, a typical market town in Nigeria. Species identities were determined by 26S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequencing. By using this method, a to
The rate of formation of toluene from ethylbenzene was studied at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of 600-725OC in conventional flow equipment. Residence times were 0.55-1.7 s, and initial partial pressures of ethylbenzene (HzO diluent) were 0.05-0.17 atm. The rate of appearance of tolu
