Revealing the contributions of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis to isomerization of <scp>d</scp>-glucose into <scp>d</scp>-fructose in the presence of basic salts with low solubility
Valérie Toussaint, Irina Delidovich
Abstract
Hydroxide anions are identified as catalytically active species for the isomerization of d -glucose to d -fructose over low soluble basic salts. The highest selectivity for d -fructose was obtained for catalysis by MgCO 3 .
