Hydrogen bonding electronic implications

The relevance of the question discussed above to the problem of hydrolytic degradation of cellulose arises from both stereochemical and electronic factors associated with the difference in conformation of the glycosidic linkage as well as with the participation of the C6 oxygen in the bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bond. The implications of these factors will now be considered.
