Hydroxyacetone from degredation of sugars
Is it possible to produce Hydroxyacetone by degrading sugar as the Wikipedia article on it suggests. Any help in how to do this would be greatly
appreciated as I want to try Hydroxyacetone as a reducing agent for Indigo.
Thanks

Here, I hope it is helpful: https://sci-hub.se/10.1533/9781845698447.2.65
It says Quote: | There is no doubt that many sugars, including glucose and xylose, are converted at least in part into acetol on treatment in boilin aqueous sodium
hydrogen carbonate. |
This quote leads to another paper, reference 5, which I couldn't find right now with a quick search.
Please post it here if you are able to fetch it, I would also be interested in it.
