Abstract
The oxidation of sucrose with periodate was studied at different pH and temperature. Openβchain diβ and tetraaldehydes thus obtained were analyzed using HPLC. The ratio of singly oxidized glucose rings to doubly oxidized glucose rings proved to be dependent on the pH. This behaviour of the glucose ring in sucrose was compared with that of methyl Ξ±βDβglucopyranoside. At higher temperatures, the direction of the oxidation shifted to the glucose part of sucrose. At 95Β°C and pH 7, sucrose appeared to be oxidized selectively to the dialdehyde GOOβF.
