Je. Anderson et al., ECLIPSED CONFORMATIONS FOR CARBON-OXYGEN BONDS IN METHOXY DERIVATIVESOF INOSITOLS, SUGARS AND SIMILAR COMPOUNDS, Perkin transactions. 2, (4), 1997, pp. 729-734
Eclipsing of exocyclic carbon-oxygen bonds in methyl ether derivatives
of inositols and carbohydrates is reported and discussed. Structural
fragments stereotypical for eclipsing are recognised, namely an axial
or equatorial alkoxy group on a six-membered ring with equatorial subs
tituents on either side, The X-ray crystal structure of hexa-O-methyl-
epi-inositol is reported. Some analogous compounds which also have ecl
ipsed bonds are reported.
