Abstract

The title compound (7) was isolated as a minor product of successive tosylation, acetylation and iodide displacement of methyl α-D- mannopyranoside (1). Crystals of the title compound are orthorhombic, space group P212121, a = 9.293(2), b = 14.220(6), c = 16.969(6) Å, Z = 4. The structure was solved from diffractometer data by heavy-atom techniques, and refined by block-diagonal least-squares methods to R 0.052 for 1 802 independent reflections. The results supply the constitution and absolute configuration (8). The conformation of the pyranoside ring is 4C1 (≡C1) in the solid state and 1H n.m.r. studies showed this to be the predominant conformation in solution also.

In our case O(20) carries a methyl group but the C(1)-O(20) bond is still the shortest (1.39 A).The carbon valence angles within the pyranose ring vary from 107.6 to 111.9(8) [mean 109.4(8)"] ; the angle at O(19) is 114.7(7), which is larger than the tetrahedral l5 G.
