Journal ArticleDOI
Homogeneously catalyzed condensation of formaldehyde to carbohydrates: VII. An overall formose reaction model
TL;DR: In this article, the Ca(OH)2-catalyzed formose reaction of paraformaldehyde solutions was investigated and the overall formose system was described by five reactions: (1) aldol condensation of formaldehyde with sugars; (2) aldehyde condensation; (3) dealdolization of sugar; (4) Cannizzaro reaction; and (5) saccharinic acid formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formose sugars from formaldehyde
TL;DR: A mixture of sugars is produced by base-catalysed condensation of formaldehyde as discussed by the authors, which are sufficiently toxic to kill rats at 50% of the diet level, possibly due to the multiplicity of species as well as the presence of branched sugars.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Synthesis of Carbohydrates from Formaldehyde
TL;DR: The problems of the synthesis of carbohydrates from formaldehyde are examined and the catalysts and conditions of synthesis are described in this article, where the kinetics and current ideas concerning the mechanism of this process as well as different versions of its application in the regeneration of food products in manned spacevessels are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homogeneously catalyzed formaldehyde condensation to carbohydrates: IV. Alkaline earth hydroxide catalysts used with glycolaldehyde co-catalyst
TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanism involving ene-diol complexed species is proposed to explain the zero-order reaction behavior at intermediate conversion ranges of formaldehyde, independent of co-catalyst glycolaldehyde concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic carbohydrates from formaldehyde
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of producing not only glycerol but also potentially edible sugars from formaldehyde by means of the autocatalytic formose condensation reaction is presented.
