Structural effects of oxidation on sugars: glucose as a precursor of gluconolactone and glucuronolactone

We present an experimental work on the changes in the structure and interactions of two products of glucose oxidation (D-glucono-1,5-lactone (GlcL) and D-glucurono-6,3-lactone (GlcurL)) with respect to their precursor. Features such as intramolecular interactions, ring puckering and tautomerism were observed.PMID:38661549 | DOI:10.1039/d4cc00735b
