Effect of borate on the alkali-catalyzed isomerization of sugars
The addition of borate results in a greater conversion of aldose to ketose in alkali-catalyzed isomerizations. Borate appears to increase both the rate of formation and the maximum amount of ketose formed. The method of isomerization described may be adopted on a preparative scale, and would be espe...

| Sumario: | The addition of borate results in a greater conversion of aldose to ketose in alkali-catalyzed isomerizations. Borate appears to increase both the rate of formation and the maximum amount of ketose formed. The method of isomerization described may be adopted on a preparative scale, and would be especially useful when only small amounts of aldose are available or when identification of an aldose by isomerization to its ketose is desired. |
