The catalytic effects of acetic acid-water mixtures on the mutarotation of α-d-glucose, and a comparison with the racemisation of 1-trans-αγ-dimethylglutaconic acid in acetic acid-water mixtures
When crystalline α-d-glucose prepared by crystallisation from cold concentrated acetic acid is dissolved in water its specific rotation is 113.4°, but slowly changes to 52.5°; β-d-glucose has an initial specific rotation of 17.5° which also changes to 52.5°. This phenomenon of mutarotation is shown...
