Abstract

Chromic acid oxidation of tartaric acid in aqueous acid media produces glycolaldehyde very sluggishly at room temperature. Suitable combination of promoter (2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline) and micellar catalyst (sodium dodecyl sulphate, cetylpyridinium chloride, triton X-100) enhances the rate of reaction to almost 14-fold. Observation showed that anionic surfactant (SDS) and nonionic surfactant (TX-100) accelerates the process but cationic surfactant (CPC) retards the reaction. The efficient combination for the production of glycolaldehyde from tartaric acid is found to be 1,10-phenanthroline and SDS.

Kurzfassung

Die Chromsäureoxidation von Weinsäure im sauren, wässrigen Medium bei Raumtemperatur erzeugt sehr langsam Glycolaldehyd. Geeignete Kombinationen aus einem Promotor (2,2′-Bipyridin and 1,10-Phenanthrolin) und einem mizellaren Katalysator (Natriumdodecylsulfat, Cetylpyridiniumchlorid, Triton X-100) erhöht die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit um nahezu das 14-fache. Es wurde festgestellt, dass anionische (SDS) und nichtionische Tenside (TX-100) den Prozess beschleunigen, kationische Tenside (CPC) dagegen die Reaktion hemmen. Die effektive Kombination für die Erzeugung von Glycolaldehyd aus Weinsäure ist 1,10-Phenanthrolin und SDS.
