摘要:
Sugar ketals are prepared by reacting a sugar with a ketone in the presence of an acid catalyst by a process in whichA. a molecular boron trifluoride compound or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is used in an amount of only from 0.01 to 10% by weight, based on the sugar used,B. up to a 30-fold molar excess of the ketone is used andC. the water formed during the reaction is removed continuously from the reaction mixture.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the process, the boron trifluoride is used in the form of boron trifluoride etherate and, when the reaction is complete, this compound or the trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is rendered ineffective under non-aqueous conditions, after which the ketone is evaporated off and the reaction mixture is then subjected to fractional distillation. The process is particularly important for the reaction of L-sorbose with acetone to obtain 2,3:4,6-di-O-isopropylidene-L-sorbofuranose, which is required for the synthesis of ascorbic acid.

摘要:
An improved process for preparing cyclic acetals of 3-formyl-2-butenyltriphenylphosphonium chloride by acetalization of 3-formyl-2-butenyl acetate with an aliphatic 1,3-diol, conversion of the resulting 4-acetoxy acetal into the corresponding 4-hydroxy acetal, Vilsmeier chlorination to give the corresponding 4-chloro acetal and subsequent reaction with triphenylphosphine entails carrying out the first 3 steps in an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon or mixture of hydrocarbons with 6-8 carbons and the reaction with triphenylphosphine in an alkanol with 1-3 carbons and/or in aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon with 6-8 carbons or a corresponding mixture of hydrocarbons. The process is particularly advantageous when conversion of the 4-acetoxy acetal into the 4-hydroxy acetal is carried out with an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution in the presence of phase-transfer catalysts, and the first three, or all four, reaction stages are carried out in the same C.sub.6 -C.sub.8 -hydrocarbon.

摘要:
Potassium magnesium L-ascorbate 2-phosphate is prepared from an aqueous solution of potassium L-ascorbate 2-phosphate which is highly contaminated with KCl, as is produced in the phosphorylation of 5,6-isopropylidene-L-ascorbic acid, by adding to the solution about 1 equivalent of magnesium ions per equivalent of L-ascorbate 2-phosphate, and subsequently removing the KCl by electrodialysis. The product of this process is a novel salt of L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate and has very advantageous handling properties.
