Among the polycrystalline sugars, only D-fructose and L-sorbose, when irradiated, are known to give a esr spectrum of four lines. When irradiated polycrystalline Lsorbose was heated to 160 deg , it gave a spectrum identical with that of irradiated D-fructose, which had not been heated. The results obtained from polycrystalline materials were studied in detail using single crystals. Irradiation at 77 deg K followed by heating revealed that a radical transformation occurs in the sugars, which is caused by the deformation of the pyranose ring. The free radical produced ie --CH(OH)-- C (OH) -- CH/sub 2/ -- O - -. (auth)
