Hexosediphosphoric acid was discovered by Harden and Young [1905] and by Ivanov [1905] among the products of the fermentation of glucose, fructose or mannose by yeast juice in presence of phosphates, and was shown by Young [1909, 1911] to possess the constitution C6H1004 (PO4H2) 2 andto yield fructose on hydrolysis. One of the two phosphoric acid molecules is very easily removed by boiling the ester with weak acids and in this way Neuberg [1918] obtained a hexosemonophosphoric acid C6H1105 (PO4H2) which like the diphosphoric ester is very slightly dextrorotatory and yields a laevorotatory sugar on further hydrolysis.The presence of a hexosemonophosphoric ester was observed by Harden and Robison [1914] among the products of fermentation of sugar by yeast juice, and the isolation and investigation of this ester has been described by Robison [1922] in a recent number of this Journal. It is entirely different from the compound prepared by Neuberg, being strongly dextrorotatory and yielding a dextrorotatory sugar on hydrolysis. The phosphoric acid group in this ester is moreover much more slowly removed by boiling with acids than either of the groups in hexosediphosphoric acid. The barium and calcium salts of the diphosphoric ester are sparingly soluble in cold and still less soluble in hot water. Those of the monophosphoric esters are on the contrary very easily soluble in water. In animal physiology hexosediphosphoric acid has acquired great interest and significance through the researches of Embden and his co-workers who have brought forward convincing evidence [Embden and Lacquer, 1921] that this or some closely related phosphoric ester is present in striped muscle and is identical with the" lactacidogen."
