macromolecular boronic acid compounds, i.e., sodiumphenylboronate (SPB) and a copolymer of sodium 4-vinylphenylboronate with sodium 4-styrenesulfonate (pVPB/NaSS), respectively. The boronic acid compounds provided different selectivities; sugars of a small carbon number were formed favorably in the presence of
SPB, whereas sugar alcohols of a larger carbon number were formed preferably in the presence of pVPB/NaSS.
