Ruff Degradation

Carbohydrates

Shortening of aldoses by removing an aldehyde at the top

Attacks aldoses

  • 1)Oxidation: 6CSugar-C1OH -(Br2/H2O)-> 6CSugar-C1OOH
  • 2)Decarbozylation: 6CSugar-C1OOH -(H2O2/Fe2(SO4)3)-> 5CSugar-C2OH + CO2

Mechanism:

Fundamentals:

  • Note the oxidation step is ONLY for aldoses

Salient Examples:

Concepts:

  • Oxidation
  • Decarboxylation

Terminology:
