Comparative study of the oxidation reactions of pectic substances, of cellulose, and of the structural units of these substances

Communication 3. Comparative study of the reactivities of the structural units of cellulose and pectic substances in oxidation reactions with sodium metaperiodate and hydrogen peroxide

Summary

  1. 1.

    Under the conditions studied, methylα-galactosiduronic acid was more readily oxidised than methylα-glucoside.

  2. 2.

    It was shown that the difference in the reactivities of these models, and therefore of the elementary structural units of the corresponding polymers, is determined by the difference in spatial configuration at C-4 of the pyranose ring.
