The hydrolysis of unactivated cyclic ketals such as 1 can be catalyzed by antibodies raised against the transition state analog 2 . This transformation is closely related to the cleavage of the glycosidic bond. The observed catalysis is triggered more by electrostatic complementarity to the transition state than by shape complementarity.
