Encyclopedia > Amadori rearrangement

The Amadori rearrangement is an organic reaction describing the acid or base catalyzed isomerization or rearrangement reaction of the N-glycoside of an aldose or the glycosylamine to the corresponding 1-amino-1-deoxy-ketose.[1][2] The reaction is importance to carbohydrate chemistry. Organic reactions are chemical reactions between organic compounds. ... In acid catalysis and base catalysis a chemical reaction is catalized by an acid or a base. ... In chemistry, isomerization is the transformation of a molecule into a different isomer. ... A rearrangement reaction is a broad class of organic reactions where the carbon skeleton of a molecule is rearranged to give a structural isomer of the original molecule. ... A glycoside is a molecule where a sugar group is bonded through its anomeric carbon to a nonsugar group by either an oxygen or a nitrogen atom. ... Fischer projection of D-glyceraldehyde An aldose is a monosaccharide (a certain type of sugar) containing one aldehyde group per molecule and having a chemical formula of the form CnH2nOn (n>=3). ... Glycosylamine is a compound consisting of an amine with a glycosidic linkage to a carbohydrate. ... In chemistry, especially in organic chemistry and biochemistry, an amino group is an ammonia-like functional group. ... A ketose is a sugar containing one ketone group per molecule. ...


The reaction mechanism is demonstrated starting from the reaction of D-mannose in its open (1) and closed-form (2) with ammonia the 1,1-amino-alcohol 3 which is unstable and loses water to the glycosylamine (again the open imine (5) and the closed form hemiaminal (4)) which is the starting point for the actual Amadori rearrangement.[3] In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical change occurs. ... Mannose is a sugar, one of the hexose series of carbohydrates. ... Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. ... Glycosylamine is a compound consisting of an amine with a glycosidic linkage to a carbohydrate. ... An imine is a functional group or chemical compound containing a carbon-nitrogen double bond. ... Generic hemiaminal A hemiaminal is a functional group or type of chemical compound that has a hydroxyl group and an amine attached to the same carbon atom: -C(OH)(NR2)-. R can be hydrogen or an alkyl group. ...

The Amadori Rearrangement

By treatment of the glycosylamine with pyridine and acetic anhydride the imine group rearranges and the intermediate enol in turn rearranges to the ketone. In this particular reaction the all alcohol and amino groups are acylated as well. Pyridine is a chemical compound with the formula C5H5N. It is a liquid with a distinctively sour odour. ... Acetic anhydride, also known as ethanoic anhydride, is one of the simplest of acid anhydrides. ... Enol (or, more officially, but less commonly: alkenol) is an alkene with hydroxyl group on one of the carbon atoms of the double bond. ... Ketone group A ketone is either the functional group characterized by a carbonyl group linked to two other carbon atoms or a chemical compound that contains this functional group. ... Functional group of an alcohol molecule. ... In chemistry, especially in organic chemistry and biochemistry, an amino group is an ammonia-like functional group. ... In chemistry, acylation is the process of adding an acyl group to a compound. ...


The reaction is associated with the Maillard reaction with reagents naturally occurring sugars and amino acids. The Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction between an amino acid and a reducing sugar, usually requiring the addition of heat. ... The general structure of an α-amino acid molecule, with the amine group on the left and the carboxyl group on the right. ...

In the presence of Amadori compounds, kinetic changes were dramatically increased and were preventable by addition of catalase to the medium.
In order to investigate the impact of pre-existing tendon-linked Amadori products on cross-linking and glycoxidation, identical incubations were carried out with tendons that were first preglycated for 10 days under anaerobic conditions in order to minimize cross-linking and glycoxidation.
In the case of CML, both the presence of glycosylamine and Amadori products were major contributors to CML formation, most likely by a mechanism involving glyoxal formation (8, 9).
