Glucose chain shortening and lengthening information


Glucose chain shortening and lengthening is the chemical processes for decreasing or increasing the carbon chain length of glucose. Glucose can be shortened by oxidation and decarboxylation to generate arabinose, a reaction known as the Ruff degradation.[1] To increase the glucose carbon chain, a series of chemical reactions can be used to add one more carbon at the aldehyde end of glucose; this process is known as the Kiliani–Fischer synthesis.[2] Fig 1: Glucose chain shortening and lengthening
