Glucose dialdehyde

Oxidized starch loses its ability to gel, thereby making low Tfi dispersions. Glucose dialdehyde is a glucose oxidation compound used to crosslink agarose (linear) and dextran (branched) for their performance as adsorbents. Oxidized celluloses are a substitute for glues manufactured from animal by-products. 

The use of glutaric dialdehyde as a coupling agent bound the enzymes trypsin or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase to the surface. A large part of the enzymic activity was retained (Fig. 4), and the activity was such that the particle-enzyme conjugate could be used in laboratory scale continuous-flow reactors. 

A. Inositol Phosphates.—Phosphatidyl inositol (71) is hydrolysed in mammalian tissues to wyo-inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate (72).i myoinositol 1-phosphate (73) is released simultaneously but is not converted into (72) by the enzyme system. Periodate oxidation of (73) liberates orthophosphate quantitatively, the unstable dialdehyde phosphate (74) being an intermediate. Little or no orthophosphate is released from glucose 6-phosphate under the same oxidative conditions, and this reaction has been used to assay (73). 

Third, a poly[bis(phenoxy)phosphazene] has been coated on porous alumina particles, surface nitrated, reduced to the amino-derivative, and then coupled to the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase or trypsin by means of glutaric dialdehyde. The immobilized enzymes were more stable than their counterparts in solution, and they could be used in continuous flow enzyme reactor equipment (25). 

A mixture of methyl 3-deoxy-3-C-methyl-3-nitro-a-D- and P-L-glucopyranosides (1 1) is formed by the reaction of nitroethane with the sugar dialdehyde obtained from D-glucose. The products are separated and converted into branched-chain fluoro nitro d- and L-sugars (Eq 3.61).99... 

Neither has oxidation, with lead tetraacetate, of the sirup obtained by dehydration of the D-galactose condensate VIII so far resulted in isolation of the expected dialdehyde. On the other hand, when the anhydride from the D-glucose condensate (XXXIV) was oxidized with lead tetraacetate, an appreciable amount of dialdehyde (XXXVI) was isolated. This discrepancy in behavior is probably attributable to the trans position of the hydroxyl groups of the anhydride derived from D-galactose as compared with the cis configuration for the anhydride from D-glucose. 

L-Mannitol does not occur naturally but is obtained by the reduction of L-mannose or L-mannonic acid lactone (80). It can be synthesized from the relatively abundant L-arabinose through the L-mannose and L-glucose cyanohydrins, conversion to the phenylhydrazines which are separated, liberation of L-mannose, and reduction with sodium borohydride (81). Another synthesis is from L-inositol (obtained from its monomethyl ether, quebrachitol) through the diacetonate, periodate oxidation to the blocked dialdehyde, reduction, and removal of the acetone blocking groups (82). 

N 6.70% wh crysts (from n-butanol+ n-dibutyl ether), mp 156-57° shows mutarotation was pre-pd by condensation of 1, 2-acetone-D-xylo-trihy-droxyglutaric dialdehyde (made from monoacetone -D-glucose by oxidation with Pb tetracetate) with nitromethane. The two diastereoisomers resulting were separated by a process,called desaceto-nation,with dil H2S0 (Ref 2)... 

Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic add also has tremendous industrial potential, because it could replace oil-derived diadds such as adipic or terephthalic acid as monomers for polyesters and polyamides [98, 99]. This diadd can be synthesized by Pt-catalyzed oxidation with 02 of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural the latter is obtained by acid-catalyzed dehydration of D-frudose or frudosans (inulin) the latter, however, are too expensive as starting materials, and yields from glucose-based waste raw materials are no higher than 40%. Therefore, the potential attractive option of furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid will develop only after an effident generation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from forestry waste materials has been developed. The same compound is also the starting material for the synthesis of other interesting chemicals obtained by oxidative processes, such as 5-hydroxymethylfuroic add, 5-formylfuran-2-carboxylic add and the 1,6-dialdehyde.
