Abstract
Proton magnetic resonance spectra of three known diastereoisomers 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-glucitol, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-mannitol, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-L-iditol, and their diacetyl and dimesyl derivatives have been analyzed. The coupling constants obtained have been utilized to determine the conformation of the five-membered rings. Constancy of the couplings between ring protons throughout the series of compounds indicates the existence of one conformation common to all, and this appears to be a composite of the Cs and C2 forms. It is significant that intramolecular hydrogen bonding, which occurs in two of the three diastereoisomers, has little or no effect on ring conformation.
