Abstract
Catalysis by water, hydronium ion, acetate ion, acetic acid, pyridine and 3-hydroxypyridine of the mutarotation of D-glucose, 2-deoxy-D-glucoso, 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-n-glucose has been studied polarimetrically. Rate constants were measured at 298 and 308 K and the thermodynamic activation parameters have been calculated for each case. It is concluded that the mutarotation reaction probably takes place by a concerted mechanism in which two or more water molecules are involved in the transition state.
