Answer #1

Please note that C6H6O6 can have many different compounds. However, I think you are looking for dehydroascorbic acid. If you are looking for some other compound please let me know in the comment section, accordingly, I will try to answer the same.

Upon oxidation of ascorbic acid, we get dehydroascorbic acid. When dissolved in water, there are three compounds in equilibrium as shown below.  

Он Он Но, но. Но. + Но Н-о + - H-о - H2O он Он ОН но- Но Он ОН

The central form is hemiacetal form and it is in major quantity.
