Amadori rearrangement

English: Amadori Rearrangement

The Amadori rearrangement is an organic reaction describing the acid or base catalyzed isomerization orrearrangement reaction of the N-glycoside of an aldose or the glycosylamine to the corresponding 1-amino-1-deoxy-ketose. The reaction is important in carbohydrate chemistry.

The reaction is associated with the Maillard reaction in which the reagents are naturally occurring sugars and amino acids. Recent study is revealed the possibility of Amadori rearrangement during interaction between oxidized dextran and gelatine.

example:

Fructoselysine is an Amadori adduct of glucose to lysine.
