Waravdekar and Saslaw (1) have reported a sensitive color test for deoxyribose which depends on the periodate oxidation of the deoxy sugar. The malondialdehyde formed in this oxidation is coupled with thiobarbituric acid to give a chromogen with an absorption maximum at 532 rnp. While investigating the metabolism of ribose 5-phosphate in extracts of Escherichia coli strain B, the formation and accumulation of a product which reacted in the periodate-thiobarbituric acid test was noticed. The color formed in this case had an absorption maximum at 545 to 550 rnp rather than 532 mp. The compound responsible for the color has been identified as 2-keto-3-deoxyheptonic acid (I) in which the configuration of the groups on carbons 4, 5, and 6 remains undetermined.
