M. Koos et al., Crystal structure of methyl 4-amino-4-cyano-4,6-dideoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-alpha-L-talopyranoside, MOLECULES, 5(10), 2000, pp. 1113-1120
The structure of methyl 4-amino-4-cyano-4,6-dideoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-al
pha -L-talopyranoside was established by X-ray analysis confirming a tale c
onfiguration at C-4 and suggesting a C-1(4) conformation of the pyranose ri
ng. The values of relevant torsion angles and calculated puckering paramete
rs revealed a distortion into the direction of E-5 conformation, thus indic
ating a flattening at C-2.
