Methyl 5-O-methyl-alpha-d-glycero-d-idoseptanoside (3) and methyl 5-O-methyl-beta-d-glycero-d-guloseptanoside (4) were investigated as (1-->5)-linked di-/oligoseptanoside mimetics. Here we report the synthesis of 3 and 4 and describe their preferred solution conformations through a combination of ab initio/DFT calculations and (1)H (3)J(H,H) NMR coupling constant analysis. The conformations of 3 and 4 observed in this study are discussed in comparison to those of the parent (C5 hydroxy) compounds 1 and 2. The results indicate that methyl 5-O-methyl-alpha-septanoside 3 is relatively rigid and adopts the same (3,4)TC(5,6) conformation as 1. Methyl 5-O-methyl-beta-septanoside 4 is somewhat less rigid than its parent septanoside (2). In addition to the (6,O)TC(4,5) conformation adopted by 2, beta-septanoside 4 also populates the adjacent (3,4)TC(5,6) conformation. Glycosylation at C5 on beta-septanoside 4 therefore increases its overall flexibility and allows access to alternative ring conformations.
