• Description: 2,3:4,6-Di-O-isopropylidene-2-keto-L-gulonic acid monohydrate is a natural product that is produced in a bioreactor by the reaction of sorbose and lipase. It can be used as a precursor to industrial chemicals, such as epoxides and ethers. The synthetic pathway for 2,3:4,6-di-O-isopropylidene-2-keto-l gulonic acid monohydrate (DIG) starts with the condensation of glycerol with sorbose in the presence of an enzyme such as lipase. The resulting intermediate is then oxidized to form 2,3:4,6 dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). DHAP reacts with hydrogen peroxide to form the corresponding ketone. This ketone can then react with hydrochloric acid to form 2,3:4,6 dihydroxy
