Will methyl-β-D-talopyranoside undergo mutarotation? Why or why not?

Mutarotation

The change in optical rotation due to the change in equilibrium between two anomers of a sugar solution over time.

Methyl-β-D-Talopyranoside

A chemical compound that is a methyl glycoside derived from the β-anomer of D-talopyranose.

Diagnose the outcomes of chosen organic processes involving monosaccharides.
Evaluate the transformation in monosaccharides' structure following chemical exposure.

Verified Answer

Final Answer :

No, because there is no OH at the anomeric position.
