FIELD: chemistry. SUBSTANCE: product - acid potassium salt of D-glucosugar acid C6H9O8K has melting point 188 C at [α]2
D
1=+5 C (Cl, H2O). Reagent 1 - D-glucose. Reagent 2 - 43-56% aqueous solution of nitric acid. Reaction conditions: at 20-22 C portion of obtained solution is added into continuous reactor up to filling factor of 0.02-0.20 and is heated to boiling, then remaining portion of solution is added. Reaction mixture goes from continuous reactor into reactor of periodic action where process is finished with stirring at 50-70 C which is controlled by rate of feed of starting solution of D-glucose in nitric acid into continuous reactor. EFFECT: improved quality of acid potassium salt.
