Abstract
Proton NMR spectra of peracetylated methyl and phenyl glycosides of d-xylopyranose and l-arabinopyranose were measured in the presence of a europium shift reagent. The signals of H-2, H-3, and H-4 were more markedly shifted than others by the addition of the reagent and, in particular, the bound chemical shifts for H-4 in the α-d- and β-l-anomers and for H-3 in the β-d- and α-l-anomers were shown to be pronouncedly greater than those in the corresponding hexopyranosides. The lanthanide-induced shifts of most protons in equimolar mixtures of two sugars were also measured, and preferential coordination of the β-d-xylo- and β-l-arabinopyranosides with the europium was found to occur in comparison with the coexisting α-anomers or the corresponding hexopyranosides.
