Abstract: 1-Amino-1-deoxypentitols and 1-amino-1-deoxyhexitols were obtained by electroreduction of the corresponding oximes of D-arabinose, L-arabinose, D-ribose, D-xylose, D-lyxose, D-glucose, D-mannose, and D-galactose. These oximes were prepared in situ by treatment of the respective aldoses with hydroxylamine in an acetate buffer of pH from 4 to 6, or directly with hydroxyl-ammonium acetate. The electrolysis was carried out in a divided electrolyzer on a mercury working cathode and an auxiliary anode separated by a cation-selective membrane.
