Abstract

Identification and quantitation of hexuloses and pentuloses in mixtures has been achieved by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of their O-isopropylidene derivatives. The method has been applied to product mixtures from triose aldol-condensations. The use of strongly basic anion-exchange resins as catalysts in the aldol condensation gives considerably higher proportions of fructose than when alkali or alkaline-earth hydroxides are applied.
