Abstract
Equilibrium constants for the ionisation of several methyl glycofuranosides have been determined spectrophotometrically in aqueous alkali metal hydroxides, using aromatic nitrogen bases as indicators for the equilibrium concentration of the hydroxide ion. The results obtained have been compared to the retention of the same compounds on a strong anion-exchange resin. The effects of the glycon configuration on the acidity of methyl glycofuranosides are discussed.
