<p></p>Anomerization of glycosides were rarely performed under
basic condition due to lack of efficiency. Here an imidazole promoted anomerization of β-D-glucose
pentaacetate was developed; and reaction could proceed in both organic
solvents and solid state at room temperature. Although mechanism is not yet clear, this unprecedent
mild anomerization in solid state may open a new promising way for stereoseletive anomerization of broad
glucosides and materials design in the future..
