Disclosed is the oxidation of uronic acids, such as galacturonic acid, to the corresponding aldaric acids (characterized by the formula HOOC-(CHOH)n-COOH, with n being an integer of from 1 to 5) such as galactaric acids. The starting material comprising the uronic acid is subjected to oxygen under the influence of a supported gold catalyst and in the presence of a base. The oxidation occurs in good selectivity and yield, under unexpectedly mild conditions. A source of galacturonic acids is pectin, such as that derived from sugar beet pulp.
揭示了对糖醛酸(如半乳糖醛酸)的氧化反应,得到相应的糖醛酸(以HOOC-(CHOH)n-COOH的结构式表示,其中n为1至5的整数),如半乳糖醛酸。将含有糖醛酸的起始物质在受支持的金催化剂和碱的作用下暴露于氧气中。该氧化反应在意外地温和条件下具有良好的选择性和产率。半乳糖醛酸的来源之一是果胶,如从甜菜渣中提取的果胶。
