Behavior of the Sugars with Short Carbon Chains

Behavior of the Sugars with Short Carbon Chains 

In conformity with the conversion of glucose to mannose and fructose, glyceraldehyde is converted partially to dihydroxyacetone in the presence of pyridine or dilute alkalies 114). 

At 25°C. to 50°C., potassium hydroxide (0.2 to 6 N) converts glyceraldehyde to formic, acetic, and lactic acids 115). 

OPTICAL SUPERPOSITION, THE ISOROTATION RULES, AND THE INFLUENCE OF STRUCTURE ON OPTICAL 

In optically active compounds that have more than one asymmetric center, the rotation of each compound might be considered as the sum of the partial rotations of the asymmetric centers. Thus, for the isomeric compounds
