Abstract
It is postulated that, in the epimerization of glucose in alkaline sol ution catalysed by Ca2+ ions (and other cations of similar size), the intermediate is a complex of the cation with O-1, O-2, O-3 and O-4 of the sugar and that the reaction proceeds, like the Bilik reaction, wit h rearrangement of the carbon chain.
