The Structure Of Hexa-O-acetyl-α-D-fructofuranose-β-d-fructofuranose 1,2':2,6'-Dianhydride. Journal of Carbohydrate Chemistry 22(1), 1-8.https://hdl.handle.net/10289/137The crystal structure of 3,4,6,1',3'4'-hexa-O-acetyl-α-D-fructofuranose-β-D-fructofuranose 1,2':2,6'-dianhydride, 1, has been determined. The central, eight-membered 1,3,6-trioxacane ring is in a twist-boat-chair conformation. Molecular modeling has shown that this conformation is inherent and not due to crystal packing forces and is also the most likely conformation present in underivatized α-D-fructofuranose-β-D-fructofuranose 1,2':2,6'-dianhydride.enThis article is published in the Journal of Carbohydrate Chemistry, (c) 2002 Marcel Dekker, Inc.Difructose dianhydrideConformation1,3,6-trioxacane ringJournal Article10.1081/CAR-120019009
