Abstract
A modified pathway to synthesize on large scale L-xylo-hexos-2-ulose ( L-sorbosone), a potential intermediate in the biosynthesis of L-ascorb ic acid in some plants, is described. The determination of the purity by thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, capillary gas chromatography (cGC) and cGC-mass spectrometry (MS) is d iscussed. The product is for the first time unambiguously characterize d by C-13 NMR and electrospray MS. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
