Popis: The synthesis of a 6,6'-ester linked disaccharide analog model compound was achieved in five steps from d-glucose and featured a key oxidative esterification transformation. The synthesized d-gluco-pyranosyl-(6,6')-d-gluco-pyranuronate was characterized in D2O using NMR spectroscopy. Using the experimental data together with molecular dynamics simulations (TIP3P, water), a model of the compound's conformational behavior was established. The effect of the 6,6'-ester linkage on the solution phase structure was compared to that of the previously reported 6,6'-ether linkage in a disaccharide analog. Based on the established models, the ester linkage was found to have a profound effect on the overall shape of the molecule.
