Production of Hexaric Acids from Biomass International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Production of Hexaric Acids from Biomass Riku Sakuta and Nobuhumi Nakamura * Department of Biotechnology and Life Science, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, 2-24-16 Nakacho, Koganei, Tokyo 184-8588, Japan * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 June 2019; Accepted: 24 July 2019; Published: 26 July 2019 Abstract: Sugar acids obtained by aldohexose oxidation of both the terminal aldehyde group and the hydroxy group at the other end to carboxyl groups are called hexaric acids (i.e., six-carbon aldaric acids). Because hexaric acids have four secondary hydroxy groups that are stereochemically diverse and two carboxyl groups, various applications of these acids have been studied. Conventionally, hexaric acids have been produced mainly by nitric acid oxidation of aldohexose, but full-scale commercialization has not been realized; there are many problems regarding yield, safety, environmental burden, etc. In recent years, therefore, improvements in hexaric acid production by nitric acid oxidation have been made, while new production methods, including biocatalytic methods, are actively being studied. In this paper, we summarize these production methods in addition to research on the application of hexaric acids. Keywords: aldaric acids; biorefinery; biofuel cell; bioprocess; biorefinery; carbohydrates; electrochemistry; green chemistry; oxidation; sustainable chemistry 1. Introduction The International Energy Agency defines a biorefinery as “the sustainable processing of biomass into a spectrum of marketable products and energy”, which is the most comprehensive and commonly accepted definition [1]. Because inexpensive petroleum-derived chemicals are already mass produced, the production of bio-based chemicals has been limited to those with structures that are too complex for the fine-chemicals market to justify their expensive production costs [2]. However, nonrenewable resources are limited despite population growth. Accordingly, the increased consumer demand for environmentally friendly products has become a driving force for the use of biorefineries [2]. Emerging economies (e.g., the countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC)) require increasing amounts of oil and other fossil-based products, in addition to the security of chemical and energy supplies for isolated regions such as islands [2]. Carboxylic acids have attracted considerable attention among the raw materials for bioderived chemicals. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected twelve chemicals from more than three hundred biomass-derived chemicals, based on cooperative research with industry and academia, to be developed using biorefinery production methods [3]. More than half of the twelve selected chemicals are carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids obtained by the oxidation of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides are referred to as sugar acids [4–6]. The oxidation of aldose (aldohexose when the carbon number is six) at its aldehyde group to form a carboxyl group produces aldonic acid (aldohexonic acid), whereas the corresponding oxidation at its terminal hydroxy group results in a different monocarboxylic acid, (aldo)uronic acid ((aldo)hexuronic acid). Aldaric acid (hexaric acid) is a dicarboxylic acid produced by oxidizing both groups (Figure1). Because aldaric acids have been studied for numerous types of applications, improved methods for their production are urgently needed. d-Glucaric acid, the aldaric acid of d-glucose or l-gulose, was selected by the DOE as one of the twelve chemicals [3]. Hence, this article summarizes biorefinery methods relating to aldaric acids with six carbon atoms (hexaric acids; Figure1), including d-glucaric acid. Int. J. Mol.

The redox reaction involves the formation of intermediate CrIV and CrV species, with CrVI and the two intermediate species reacting with galacturonic acid at comparable rates. The rate of disappearance of CrVI, CrIV and CrV depends on pH and [substrate], and the slow reaction step of the CrVI to CrIII conversion depends on the reaction conditions. The EPR spectra show that five-coordinate oxo–CrV bischelates are formed at pH ≤ 5 with the uronic acid bound to CrV through the carboxylate and the -OH group of the furanose form or the ring oxygen of the pyranose form. Six-coordinated oxo–CrV monochelates are observed as minor species in addition to the major five- V VI coordinated oxo–Cr bischelates only for galacturonic acid : Cr ratio ≤ 10 : 1, in 0.25–0.50 M HClO4.

  • The Fischer Proof of the Structure of (+)-Glucose Started in 1888, 12
    The Fischer proof of the structure of (+)-glucose Started in 1888, 12 years after the proposal that carbon was tetrahedral, and thus had stereoisomers. Tools: - melting points - optical rotation (determine whether a molecule is optically active) - chemical reactions Fischer knew: - (+)-glucose is an aldohexose. - Therefore, there are 4 stereocenters and 24 = 16 stereoisomers (8 D-sugars and 8 L-sugars) - At this time could not determine the actual configuration (D or L) of sugars - Fischer arbitrarily assigned D-glyceraldehyde the following structure. CHO H OH CH2OH - In 1951 Fischer was shown to have guessed correctly. CO2H CHO H OH HO H HO H CH2OH CO2H L-Tartaric acid L-glyceraldehyde Which of the 8 D-aldohexoses is (+)-glucose??? 1) Oxidation of (+)-glucose with nitric acid gives an aldaric acid, glucaric acid, that is optically active. Therefore (+)-glucose cannot have structures 1 or 7, which would give optically inactive aldaric acids. HNO3 (+)-glucose Glucaric acid Optically active CHO CO2H H OH H OH 1 H OH HNO3 H OH Mirror plane H OH H OH H OH H OH Since these aldaric CH2OH CO2H acids have mirror planes they are meso structures. CHO CO2H They are not optically H OH H OH active HO H HNO3 HO H 7 Mirror plane HO H HO H H OH H OH CH2OH CO2H 2) Ruff degradation of (+)-glucose gives (-)-arabinose. Oxidation of (-)-arabinose with nitric acid gives arabanaric acid, which is optically active. Therefore, (-)-arabinose cannot have structures 9 or 11, which would give optically inactive aldaric acids. If arabinose cannot be 9 or 11, (+)-glucose cannot be 2 (1 was already eliminated), 5 or 6, which would give 9 or 11 in a Ruff degradation.

  • 4202-B: Nucleic Acids and Carbohydrates L-4 1 Deoxy Sugars
    4202-B: Nucleic acids and Carbohydrates L-4 Deoxy sugars In these sugars one of the OH groups is replaced by a hydrogen. 2-Deoxyribose (oxygen missing at C-2 position) is an important example of a deoxy sugar. It is important component of DNA, and lack of C-2 hydroxyl provide additional stability to it as compared to RNA as no intramolecular nuclephilic attack on phosphate chain can occur. Amino sugars In amino sugars one of the OH groups is replaced by an amino group. These molecules allow proteins and sugars to combine and produce structures of remarkable variety and beauty. The most common amino sugars are N-acetyl glucosamine and N-acetyl galactosamine, which differ only in stereochemistry. The hard outer skeletons of insects and crustaceans contain chitin, a polymer very like cellulose but made of N-acetyl glucosamine instead of glucose itself. It coils up in a similar way and provides the toughness of crab shells and beetle cases. Some important antibiotics contain amino sugars. For example, the three subunits of the antibiotic gentamicin are deoxyamino sugars (the middle subunit is missing the ring oxygen). N-Acetyl glucosamine N-Acetyl galactosamine Gentamicin, an antibiotic Cell membranes must not be so impermeable as they need to allow the passage of water and complex molecules. These membranes contain glycoproteins—proteins with amino sugar residues attached to asparagine, serine, or threonine in the protein. The attachment is at the anomeric position so that these compounds are O- or N-glycosides of the amino sugars. The structure below shows N-acetyl galactosamine attached to an asparagine residue as an N-glycoside.

  • Oxidation of Uronic Acids by a Large Excess of Glucose Oxidase Preparations

Glycosci., Vol.46, No.1, p.1-7 (1999)•l Oxidation of Uronic Acids by a Large Excess of Glucose Oxidase Preparations Mikihiko Kobayashi,* Hirofumi Nishihara1 and Shoichi Kobayashi National Food Research Institute (2-1-2, Kannondai, Tsukuba 305-8642, Japan)1 Department of Applied Bioresource Science, School of Agriculture, Ibaraki University (3998 Ami-machi, Ibaraki 300-0393, Japan) Three commercial enzyme preparations of glucose oxidase (GOD) showed an oxidizing ability of glucuronic acid and galacturonic acid to form sugar acids. The optimum conditions of GOD reaction were at pH 8.0 and 50•Ž, whereass those of uronic acid oxidase (UOD) reaction were at pH 3.5 and 40•Ž. In spite of extensive attempts to separate GOD from UOD, the isolation of each activity was unsuccessful, and UOD reaction resulted from the wide substrate specificity of GOD reaction. More than 6-fold higher Km values for glucuronic acid and galacturonic acid than for glucose might suggest that UOD reaction was the alternative reaction of GOD enzyme. However, a more definite conclusion on UOD activity should be drawn from further studies. The reaction products from uronic acids were analyzed by HPLC and paper chromatography, and some products were shown to be identical with sugar acids. Beet pulp contained a large amount of uronic oxidation of uronic acids with glucose oxidase acids, which were found not only in the pectic (GOD) preparation from commercial sources. fraction, but also in the hemicellulose and cellulose, fractions.1) Although the effective MATERIALS AND METHODS saccharification of beet pulp might increase biomass content about 1.4-fold for the ethanol Materials.

Agricultural Research. Science and Education Administration. U. S. Department of Agriculture.' Peoria. Jllinois 61604 Received March 17, 1981 An integrated gas-liquid chromatography method is described for the quantitation of mix­ tures containing simple monosaccharides in addition to mannuronic, glucuronic, and/or ga­ lacturonic acids. A hydrolyzed sample is divided into two portions. One portion is analyzed by the standard aldononitrile method. Glucuronic, galacturonic, and mannuronic acids are converted into compounds that do not chromatograph in the region of the standard aldononitrile acetates. Thus, this analysis gives an accurate estimation of the neutral monosaccharide con­ tent. The second portion is analyzed by a modified alditol acetate procedure. The reduction step is repeated three times to convert mannuronic, galacturonic, and glucuronic acids to their corresponding alditols via their intermediate lactones. The results of this gas-liquid chro­ matography analysis reflect the sum of the monosaccharides present plus their corresponding uronic acids. The difference between the values obtained by the aldononitrile acetate method and the modified alditol acetate method, therefore, is a measure of the uronic acid(s) present.
