Abstract
The stereospecifically labeled 6-monodeuterio methyl 2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxy-α- and β- d-glucopyranosides were synthesized with a view to determining their side chain conformations. NMR studies in D2O at pH 5 and pH 11 reveal both anomers to adopt very predominantly the gt conformation consistent with the gauche conformation of 2-aminoethanol and its acetate salt. In contrast, as also revealed with the help of stereospecifically-labelled monodeuterio isotopomers, the methyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-α- and β- d-glucopyranosides are an approximately 1:1 mixture of gg and gt conformers as is found in glucopyranose itself.
