    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of R- and S-lipoic acid and R- and S-dihydrolipoic acid comprising (a) reaction of where MS is SO 2 -R' and R and R' independently of one another are C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, C 3 -C 8 -cycloalkyl, C 3 -C 8 -cycloalkylalkyl, aryl or aralkyl, with sodium sulfide and sulfur in methanol. The invention especially relates to processes for preparing pure R- or S-dihydrolipoic acid, which is either used directly or processed further to give R- and S-lipoic acid. The process also serves for the production of pharmaceuticals. The present invention further relates to a solution of sodium sulfide trihydrate and sulfur in methanol, the sulfur being present in a molar excess over the sodium sulfide trihydrate, and a kit which comprises the solution according to the invention.

    Abstract: Continuous process for the epimerisation of pentoses and hexoses by heating a sugar dissolved in a solvent in the presence of a basic anion exchanger loaded with a molybdenum(VI) compound, which is characterised in that, for the preparation of a D- or L-sugar with cis-OH groups in the 2- and 3-position of the sugar, a homogeneous solution of the corresponding sugar with trans-OH groups in the 2- and 3-position of the sugar is passed continuously in a mixture of water and methanol or ethanol at temperatures from 70 to 100 DEG C, preferably 73 to 80 DEG C, through a reaction tube which contains the basic anion exchanger loaded with the molybdenum(VI) compound. This process is particularly suitable for the epimerisation of D-arabinose to the D-ribose needed for the preparation of riboflavin.
