Proton-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of peracetylated derivatives of ten structurally related oligosaccharides isolated from human milk were measured for solutions in CDCl3 at 360 MHz. The following oligosaccharides were investigated: Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc-ol (1), GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc-ol (2), Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc-ol (3), Gal beta 1 leads to 3GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc-ol (4), Gal beta 1 leads to 3GlcNAc(4 comes from 1Fuc alpha) beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc-ol (5), Fuc alpha 1 leads to 2Gal beta 1 leads to 3GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc-ol (6), Fuc alpha 1 leads to 2Gal beta 1 leads to 3GlcNAc(4 comes from 1Fuc alpha)beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc-ol (7), Fuc alpha 1 leads to 2Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc-ol(3 comes from 1Fuc alpha) (8), and a 1:3 mixture of Fuc alpha 1 leads to 2Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc-ol (9) and Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc-ol(3 comes from 1Fuc alpha) (10). Owing to the strong downfield shifts of the resonances of protons linked to acetoxylated carbons, the problems of signal overlap are less severe and the spin systems of all constituent sugar residues can be assigned fully. The sites of glycosidic linkage can be recognized by the high-field position of the signals of protons linked to those sites; for example, type 1 (Gal beta 1 leads to 3GlcNAc) and type 2(Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc) saccharide chains can be distinguished. The sequence can be established by observing a nuclear Overhauser effect involving the anomomeric and the aglyconic proton.
