Glycohc acid also undergoes reduction or hydrogenation with certain metals to form acetic acid, and oxidation by hydrogen peroxide ia the presence of ferrous salts to form glyoxylic acid [298-12A], HCOCOOH, and ia the presence of ferric salts ia neutral solution to form oxaHc acid, HOOCCOOH formic acid, HCOOH and Hberate CO2 and H2O. These reduction and oxidation reactions are not commercially significant.

Di-(/)-chlorophenyl)-acetic acid has been made by the action of alcoholic potassium hydroxide on l,l-di-(/>-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dichloroethane by the action of barium hydroxide on DDT in ethylene glycol and by the condensation of chlorobenzene with glyoxylic acid. ... 

Tribromobenzoic acid has been prepared by the deamination of 2,4,6-tribromo-3-aminobenzoic acid (reagents not specified), by hydrolysis of 2,4,6-tribromobenzonitrile, " and by oxidation of the tribromotoluene, the benzyl chloride, the aldehyde,and the glyoxylic acid.i The present method is a modification of that of Bunnett, Robison, and Pennington.i ... 

In a situation where severe steric hindrance e.g., 16,16-dimethyl-20-keto-pregnanes) prevents enol acetate formation, an alternate scheme has been devised. Condensation of ethyl oxalate at C-21 produces, after hydrolysis, the 21-glyoxylic acid this on treatment with acetic anhydride and a strong acid catalyst such as perchloric acid gives both lactone acetates. 

A mixture of 10 g of the glyoxylic acid, 100 ml of acetic anhydride, and 0.5 g of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid is stirred at 25° for 2 hr. Sodium acetate (0.5 g) is added and the mixture concentrated in vacuum at 50°. The residue is taken up in 100 ml of benzene and washed with two portions of 2.5 N sodium hydroxide to remove the remaining acetic anhydride. The benzene solution is washed with water, dried and concentrated in vacuum to dryness. Crystallization from 40 ml of absolute ethanol gives 9.8 g (85%) of 3a,20,23-trihydroxy-16a-methyl-11 -oxo-21 -norchola-17(20),22-dienoic acid-24(20)-lactone 3,23-diacetate mp 165-175°.

A weak cation-exchange resin is obtained by reaction of glyoxylic acid and a cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol. The polyvinyl alcohol is cross-linked with glutaraldehyde in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The cation-exchange resin has an exchange capacity of 3 meq/g or greater and a swelling volume of 10 ml/g or smaller (37-38). 

TosMIC reagents. For example, glyoxylic acid ethyl ester undergoes cycloaddition with (2-naphthyl) tosylmethyl isonitrile (17) to produce oxazole 18 in good yield. ... 

With semicarbazones of lower a-keto acids the reaction proceeds with some difficulty or not at all. Thus, the semicarbazones of pyruvic acid cannot be cyclized and that of glyoxylic acid is predominantly hydrolyzed so that the yield of the cyclization product is only 20-25%. ° This reaction was used in work with a different object, for preparing 6-azauracil, for the first time. 

The starting semicarbazones were most often prepared directly from the a-keto acids. Godfrin proceeded from a-alkyl acetoacetates, which were converted by oxidation with nitrosylsulfuric acid to a-keto-acid oximes and the latter transformed to semicarbazones or thioseraicarbazones by applying semicarbazide or thiosemicarbazide. For glyoxylic acid semicarbazone a very convenient procedure was employed, making use of the hydrolysis of nonisolated chloral semicarbazone. ... 

In a further synthesis, Gut ° used the cyclization of the thiosemi-carbazone of glyoxylic acid (56) the 2-thioxo-5-oxo-2,3,4,6-tetra-hydro-l,2,4-triazine (57) formed was converted to 6-azauracil by applying aqueous solution of chloroacetic acid. (This reaction will be discussed later, e.g.. Section II,B,4,b.) The same procedure was used... 

A uniformly favorable effect is displayed by an alkyl group, in position 2. Thus the 2-methylthiosemicarbazone of pyruvic acid is cyclized at normal temperature and without excess hydroxide. The 2-methylthiosemicarbazone of glyoxylic acid (98) was cyclized by boiling for 5 min to 2-methyl-3-thioxo-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-... 

Substitution in position 4 displays a more complex influence. Cyclization of the 4-methyl- and 4-ethyl-thiosemicarbazones of phenylpyruvic acid and of the 4-methylthiosemicarbazone of phenyl-glyoxylic acid (103) was readily achieved (104), whereas it was not possible to cyclize the analogous 4-methyl derivatives of pyruvic and glyoxylic acids. It thus appears that cyclization is hindered by substitution in position 4 and that this unfavorable effect can be partly relieved by the known favorable effect of an aryl or aralkyl group in the a-position. 

In a study of the nitrosation of camphor-3-glyoxylic acid (89), Chorley and Lapworth isolated a compound whose structure (90) has recently been clarified by Hatfield and Huntsman. Decarboxylation and ring expansion occur and the reaction is rationalized in the sequence 89 90. The buttressing effect of a methyl group on... 

Reductive alkylation has been used to prepare a-amino acids suitable for lactam formation and further elaboration. In a single step a carbobenzyloxy group was removed, and alkylation with glyoxylic acid hydrate was achieved (18).
