✦ Synopsis
The favoured conformations of a series of C-glycosyl derivatives of 4,5:7,8-di-O-isopropylidene-3deoxy-D-munno-2-octulosonic acid (Kdo) esters were analyzed by n.m.r. spectroscopy and in one instance by X-ray crystallography. The Kdo derivatives were found to adopt a skew-boat conformation (& + OS,) in solution which corresponds well to the solid-state conformation. The skew-boat conformation of the pyranose ring appeared to be imposed solely by the 4,5-dioxolane ring. Molecular-mechanics calculations [MM2(85)] on a model eompound identified two low-energy conformations of equal steric energy, namely a skew-boat conformation almost identical to the experimentally observed conformation, and a chair conformation ('C,).
