The mutarotation of glucose is a general acid – base-catalyzed reaction which involves two proton transfers. Whether these proton transfers are carried out in a stepwise or concerted manner, the latter alternative possibly incorporating several water molecules in a cyclic transition state, is not known with certainty.This study was undertaken in an attempt to clarify the mechanism by determining directly the number of water molecules participating in the transition state. The method chosen was to determine rates for the acid-catalyzed mutarotation of glucose as a function of solvent composition in dimethylsulfoxide and water mixtures, particularly in the water poor region. The results show that for the acid-catalyzed reaction the order with respect to water is zero. For water catalysis, the results are less reliable but suggest that about three water molecules may be involved. These facts are interpreted to mean that a stepwise mechanism is operative in the proton-catalyzed reaction, but that the solvent-...
