Aldonic Acids
[edit]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aldonic acids are sugar acids with the general chemical formula, HO2C(CHOH)nCH2OH. They are obtained by oxidizing the aldehyde (-CHO group) of an aldose to form a carboxylic acid (-COOH group).[1] Aldonic acids are generally found in their ring form. However, these rings do not have a chiral carbon at the terminal end bearing the aldehyde, and they cannot form R−O−R′ linkages between different molecules.[2]
The nomenclature of aldonic acids and their lactones is based on replacing the suffix "-ose" with "onic acid" or "onolactone". Hence, D-glucose is oxidized to D-gluconic acid and D-gluconolactone.[3]
Synthesis
[edit]Oxidation by Bromine and Water
[edit]Aldonic acids are most commonly prepared by the oxidation of the sugar with bromine and water under neutral pH.[4]
Strecker Reaction
Alternatively, they arise by homologation of an aldose using the Strecker reaction.[5] Cyanide in ammonia reacts with an aldose to produce an intermediate, which is then reacted with a hydronium ion to form an aldonic acid.
Oxidation by Benedict's and Fehling's Reagents
[edit]Aldonic acids are the products of the oxidation of aldoses by Benedict's or Fehling's reagents.[6] Copper ions react with an aldose to form a red precipitate, Cu2O.
Natural Synthesis
Anaerobic bacteria can also perform dehydrogenation to produce aldonic acids.[7] This is done by synthesizing enzymes that are able to selectively oxidize aldoses to their corresponding aldonic acid.
Applications
[edit]In commercial settings, glucose, galactose, or arabinose are commonly oxidized to obtain aldonic acids.[7] These products can then be used as the building blocks for preservatives, buffering agents, and other chemicals.[7] As such, the use of aldonic acids for chemical applications is of growing interest to various industries.
Aldonic acids can be used as the natural starting materials to synthetic products[8] including polyesters and polyurethane.[9] The incorporation of these organic sugars into synthetic materials allow for a more renewable alternative to oil-based polymer synthesis,[9] and increased structural durability within polymer chains.[10]
Properties
[edit]Aldonic acids are typically used in industrial applications for their ability to degrade naturally in the environment.[9] This can be attributed to their affinity with water, as the polar bonds within the carboxylic acid group of aldonic acids allow them to interact with aquatic systems.[11]
The structural diversity of aldonic acids also allow for various properties. Their ring formation creates an added layer of rigidity when integrated with other materials.[10]
