Adonose

Bacterial oxidation of ribitol (adonitol XXX) affords L-adonose or L-erythropentulose (XXXI) (c/. the bacterial oxidation of sorbitol to L-sorbose). By the agency of methyl alcoholic hydrogen chloride, XXXI yields methyl L-adonoside (XXXII) and condensation of the... 

The oxidation of a secondary alcoholic group in the presence of primary alcoholic groups by Acetobacter suboxydans converts adonit into adonose [1041]. The treatment of androstenediol and dehydroandrosterone with yeast yields A -androstenedione [1088]. Steroidal hydroxy ketones are dehydrogenated to dicarbonyl compound with CorynebacteriUlh simplex [1056] (see equations 446 and 447). Examples of oxidations of secondary alcohols to ketones are shown in equations 265-268. 

Another example of the preferential oxidation of secondary hydroxyls versus primary hydroxyls is the formation of L-adonose from L-adonit by bakers yeast (Acetobacter suboxydans) (equation 291) [1041].
