Abstract: The reaction of DL-glyceraldehyde and l,3-dihydroxy-2-propanone with hydroxylamine and the Polarographie behaviour of oximes obtained were investigated in aqueous buffer solutions. As found, Polarographie waves of these oximes in formate and acetate buffer solutions are pH-dependent within pH = 2—6. Both oximes were electroreduced on a preparative scale in the above-mentioned pH range of the reaction medium at potentiostatic and pH-static conditions. Mechanisms of the appropriate chemical and electrochemical reactions were proposed both from the Polarographie and preparative electroreductions and reaction products.
