Abstract
The TEMPO-mediated oxidation of carbohydrates was investigated iu heterogen eous conditions. The aminoxyl radicals were immobilised in a Nafion(R) film on graphite felt electrodes. This selectively gave rise to the correspondi ng uronic acids. Analytical results targeted towards the kinetics and the s tability of the electrodes are also reported. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V .
