The Hofer-Moest decarboxylation of D-glucuronic acid and D-glucuronosides.
Carbohydr Res
February 2007
Research was undertaken to effect the oxidative decarboxylation of glycuronosides. Experiments with free D-glucuronic acid and aldonic acids were also executed. Both anodic decarboxylation and variants of the Ruff degradation reaction were investigated.

- The Ruff degradation reaction has been reviewed, focusing on its mechanisms and efficiency.
- The Hofer-Moest decarboxylation mechanism is suggested as the underlying process for the Ruff degradation.
- Cu(III) is identified as the active species in the copper version of the Ruff degradation, making it the most effective variation of this reaction.
