FIELD: production of ascorbic acid. SUBSTANCE: method is carried out by acetonation of sorbose, the process takes place in the presence of 24 % oleum as catalyst and NaA zeolite (used as dehydrating agent. Weight ratio of sorbose, oleum and acetone is 1:0.01-0.022:13-16, respectively. Reaction is carried out within 4 h at boiling point of acetone. Thus prepared solution is then cooled to minus 10-15 C and allowed to stand within 1 h, the process is followed by neutralization with the help of aqueous alkali solution to pH 8-9. Separation of desired product is carried out by commonly used way, particularly by extraction with chloroform followed by distillation of solvent or by extraction with toluene followed by its distillation. EFFECT: improves quality of desired product, increases yield of desired product, improves efficiency of the method. 2 cl |
