摘要

Geometry optimizations at the B3LYP level of density functional theory (DFT) are reported for the ⁴H₅ and ⁵H₄ conformations of four glycals: 3,4-di-O-acetyl-1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-d-erythro-pent-1-enitol (3,4-di-O-acetyl-d-arabinal), its d-threo isomer (3,4-di-O-acetyl-d-xylal), 3,4-di-O-acetyl-1,5-anhydro-2,6-dideoxy-d-arabino-hex-1-enitol (3,4-di-O-acetyl-d-rhamnal), and its d-lyxo isomer (3,4-di-O-acetyl-d-fucal). The Gibbs free energies, relative Gibbs free energies and geometry parameters are presented for all the optimized structures. Conformational analysis of both the acetoxy groups and 1,2-unsaturated pyranoid ring is performed. It is demonstrated that the acetoxy group is planar and adopts two conformations with regard to the Ac-O bond rotations, one of which is strongly preferred. One of the hydrogen atoms of the methyl group is always oriented synperiplanarly whereas the remaining two anticlinally with respect to the carbonyl oxygen. With regard to the AcO-R bond rotations some of the orientations are forbidden. The calculations indicate that 3,4-di-O-acetyl-d-arabinal adopts mainly the ⁴H₅ conformation, whereas 3,4-di-O-acetyl-d-xylal prefers the ⁵H₄ form, owing to the vinylogous anomeric effect (VAE). Competition between the VAE and quasi 1,3-diaxial interactions means that both 3,4-di-O-acetyl-d-rhamnal and 3,4-di-O-acetyl-d-fucal remain in the ⁴H₅⁵H₄ conformational equilibrium, shifted in the ⁴H₅ direction. It seems that the orientation of the 4-OAc group influences the quasi 1,3-diaxial interactions between 3-OAc and 5-CH₃ groups. Theoretical results are compared with assignments based on ¹H NMR studies.
