Abstract
The position of the equilibria between aldohexoses and 3-deoxyaldohexoses and their 1,6-anhydrides, and between heptuloses and their 2,7-anhydrides, has been determined by gas chromatography. The results are in good agreement with data calculated from conformational interaction energies. D-Talose gives equal amounts of the 1,6-anhydropyranose and the 1,6-anhydrofuranose. D-glycero-D-gulo-Heptose gives 66% of the 1,7- and only 9% of the 1,6-anhydride.
