The influence of the choice of catalyst and the presence of additives on the selectivity of the hydrogenation of D-xylo-5-hexulosonic acid was investigated.Optimal amounts of idonic acid were obtained with palladium boride as the catalyst in aqueous solution at pH 9, 80 deg C and 100 kg/cm2 H2.Under these conditions, the conversion is 100 percent and the molar ratio of idonic and gluconic acid in the reaction products is 3/1, whereas almost no side products ( 5 percent) were formed.
