Reaction with sugars is best to carry out in neutral or acidic medium but not in alkaline medium because in alkaline medium sugars undergo:
Racemisation
Decomposition
Inversion
Rearrangement
As sugars contains carbonyl group which can be enolize by the -OH of alkaline medium. i.e. it there may enolization can occurs Hence rearrangement may possible.
