A conformational model of per-O-acetyl-cyclomaltoheptaose (-β-cyclodextrin) in solution: detection of partial inversion of glucopyranose units by NMR spectroscopy
The stereochemical features of per- O -acetyl-cyclomaltoheptaose (-β-cyclodextrin) have been investigated in solution by NMR spectroscopy, and the deviation of functionalised glucopyranose rings from 4 C 1 chairs to skew-type conformations has been detected.
