Abstract
Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones. Therefore, one of their primary chemical properties is that of a polyalcohol. It is natural then that one of the first types of derivatives to be formed was esters. The formation of a completely acetylated carbohydrate can be obtained by the reaction with acetic anhydride in the presence of either a basic or an acidic catalyst. When reducing carbohydrates react with acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate at 4°C, the ßanomer is favored (reactions 4.1 and 4.2).
