Question

Explain mutarotation in glucose by drawing suitable structure

Answer 1

Alpha and beta configurations of glucose will modification impromptu through intermediate chain formation (the method of Mutarotation).

Specific rotation of alpha type is $+112^{0}$, specific rotation of beta type is $+19^{0}$.

There's gradual modification in optical rotation of the answer.

The initial optical rotation changes to a continuing optical rotation $+55.5^{0}$.

The constant specific rotation is thanks to resultant internet optical activity of each alpha and beta anomers.
