I'm trying to find any commercial supplier of the following chemical compound: 2,5-diketo-D-gluconic acid, acid solution or salt.
I found strange that in a reference from 1984 they use commercial 2-keto-D-gluconic acid and 5-keto-gluconic acid salts, but they synthesize and purify the diketo compound. I was expecting that it should be easy to find a commercial supplier in 2013 but I haven't been lucky until now.
