eptaose, heptakis(2-O-methyl-3,6-di-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)cyclomaltohep
taose and heptakis(2-O-methyl)cyclomaltoheptaose were determined from X-ray
diffraction patterns obtained for single crystals of the title compounds g
rown from ethyl acetate and ethanol, respectively, as solvent. The crystal
structures prove conclusively that quantitative migration of the tert-butyl
dimethylsilyl group from the 2-O- to the 3-O-position [D. Icheln, B. Gehrck
