The electrolysis of monosaccharides in alkaline, non-aqueous media caused a sequential descent of the series as a result of the elimination of one-carbon units from the reducing end of the molecule, without the formation of chromatographically detectable quantities of oxidized derivatives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
