Abstract
Single crystals of α‐Methyl‐D‐glucopyranoside x irradiated at 77 K contain five free radical species observed by ESR and ENDOR spectroscopy. Four of these have been assigned molecular loci: a primary alkoxy radical at O6, a secondary alkoxy radical at O2, a deprotonated hydroxyalkyl radical at C6, and a radical due to hydrogen abstraction at C5. Structural considerations and mechanisms of formation are discussed.Keywords
