The signals arising due to anomeric protons usually appear in the range of 4.3~5.9 ppm, and also the protons of α-glycosides typically resonate 0.3-0.5 ppm downfield from those of the corresponding β–glycosides. The one-dimensional Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy ( 1H-NMR) has been a source of valuable structural information of polysaccharides such as the number and the configuration of anomeric protons. Example of 1H-NMR spectrum of α- and β–anomers There is also the influence of anomeric configuration on mechanochemical degradation of polysaccharides.įigure 2. For example, the anomeric effect is one of the major contributors to the stability of a certain anomer. They are different in structure, and thus have different stabilizing and destabilizing effects from each other. Polysaccharides with different anomeric configurations have different physical properties. Structural representation of D-glucose and its anomeric configurations There is the so-called mutarotation equilibrium between the α- and β-anomers of glucopyranose in aqueous solution.įigure 1. These two different stereoisomers (anomers) are designated α- and β-anomers. The two stereoisomers formed from the two possible stereochemistries at the anomeric center are called anomers. The anomeric center of a sugar is a stereocenter created from the intramolecular formation of an acetal (or ketal) of a sugar hydroxyl group and an aldehyde (or ketone) group. The new stereocenter is referred to as the anomeric carbon. ![]() They are different in the position of the attachment of a certain group to the new stereocenter. Cyclization causes the formation of two new diasteriomers. During cyclization, the carbonyl moiety that formed part of that linear structure is transformed into a new stereocenter. Carbohydrates usually exist in a linear or in a cyclic form, but given the stability, it is common that they are inclined to form rings. ![]()
