Abstract:
A hydrogen bond between the Glc OH(4) and Gal OH(2) groups of the title disaccharide, manifested by the doubling of their 1H NMR signals in a partially deuteriated sample in Me2SO solution, proves the existence of an "anti" conformer, i.e., one with the anomeric and transglycosidic aglyconic C-H bonds tumed away from each other by ~180°. This conformer is at equilibrium with the predominating normal "syn" conformation(s), as shown by the analysis of several interresidue NOEs, and confirmed by molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics calculations
