Abstract
The rare sugar L-tagatose was prepared with an overall yield of 78% by enzymatic C-5 oxidation of galactitol with co-substrate regeneration, and purification by ligand exchange chromatography. The sugar was ide ntified by HPLC, melting point determination, optical rotation, and NM R spectrometry. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
