Boricacidcatalyzes methyl esterification of certain sugar acids (sialic acid, deaminated neuraminic acid) and related natural products (quinic acid) quite cleanly in some cases. However, closely related sugar acids (glucuronic acid, 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid) failed to esterify under the same conditions. Factors governing this dichotomy are discussed.
