Abstract
A new reaction involving L-ascorbic acid have been found. Under the action of alkali, ascorbigen and its N-alkyl derivatives undergo cleavage of the lactone ring, decarboxylation, and rearrangement to give 1-deoxy-1-(inolyl-3)-α-L-sorbopyranose and its N-alkyl derivatives. The structures of the compounds obtained were confirmed by mass-spectroscopy and PMR spectroscopy.
