Conclusions
-
1.
The intermediates in the oxidation of glyceraldehyde in aqueous medium are glycolic aldehyde and methylglyoxal, while the final products are glyceric, glycolic, acetic, and formic acids and carbon dioxide.
-
2.
A mechanism of oxidation, explaining the experimentally observed ratio of the rates of accumulation of the products, was proposed; according to this mechanism, the basic direction of the reaction of the peroxide radical is its interaction with the carbonyl group of glyceraldehyde.
