    Glucose Synthesis Problems

    Glucose is soluble in benzene. If alpha-D-glucose is dissolved in benzene, essentially no alpha-D-glucose is formed. However, if small amounts of phenol and pyridine are added, then the equillibrium amount of alpha-D-glucose is formed but slowly. If, to a solution of alpha-D-glucose in benzene, a small amount of 2-hydroxy-py
