The authors investigated an aniline-catalyzed method to accelerate the reaction between equimolar reducing glycans and hydroxylamines. The rate-constants determined by real-time NMR were associated with the equivalence ratio of aniline rather than the concentration. Conjugates of oligosaccharide with hydroxylamine can be obtained in high efficiency at pH=5.4.
