Characterization and Derivation of Glucose using PMP Spring 2013 Instrumental Real World Naomi Bryner David Millard
Background • Glucose, most common sugar and essential for life. • Simple sugar and can lead to further knowledge of more complex sugars. • Critical in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). • ATP is the energy source used throughout the body. • Product analyzed with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) and infrared spectroscopy (IR).
Method - Derivatization • Created stock solutions of NaOH (0.3 M), PMP in MeOH (0.5 M), HCl (0.3 M) and a sodium borate buffer (0.2 M, 9.5 pH). • Dextrose (1.3512 g) added to RBF with NaOH (30 mL) and PMP (30 mL), heated in mineral oil bath with condenser at ~70°C for 30 min. • HCl (30 mL) added after cooling to neutralize reaction.
Method – Extraction, Isolation & Analysis • Sample and ethyl acetate (190 mL) added to separatory funnel for extract (x 3). • Aqueous layer evaporated to dryness • Rotory evaporator for ethyl acetate, methanol • Lyophilizer for water • After sample was dried, water was added to dissolve sample, followed by another round of evaporation to dryness. • Product was analyzed with NMR, CE, and IR.

Results • Stock glucose can’t be examined directly; lack of chromophores. • 13C NMR: noisy baseline led to an increase of scans from 1024 to 7500 (overnight). • CE was comparison of PMP to product, NMR and IR were characterization. • Technological advancements caused difficulty in method replication(2002 -> 2013). • Week-long derivatization and tedious product isolation was worthwhile. • Ketone, permanent aspect of PMP in MeOH, was not detected in IR analysis, indicative of a product without excess PMP.
