Abstract
The high (levo) optical rotation shown by 0.5% solns. of cellulose in cuprammonium hydroxide is reproduced by certain substituted simple 0.03 M solns. of glucosides (with pyranoside structure) in cuprammonium hydroxide. The levo-rotatory compounds appear to be cyclic complexes with OH groups on glucose atoms 2 and 3.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
