Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of acyclic carbohydrate derivatives : alditols, 1,2-bis(phenylhydrazones), and dithioacetals

Abstract

The carbon-13 n.m.r. spectra of acyclic carbohydrate derivatives, namely alditols. 1,2-bis(phenylhydrazones), dithioacetals, and related acyclic sugar derivatives, are reported. The study has corroborated earlier results, based on ¹H n.m.r. investigations, on the conformational behaviour of such compounds in solution. Application of this technique in elucidation of regiospecificity of oxidation of alditols by Acetobacter suboxydans is discussed.
