Introduction of a stereodefined methyl group at the C-6 position of N-acetylglucosamine mono- and disaccharides creates a strong and predictable orientational bias on the geminal C-6 hydroxyl in solution, as determined by H-1-H-1 and C-13-H-1 NMR coupling constants. The conformational directing effect is more pronounced in the disaccharides because of the greater steric demand imposed by the neighboring glycosidic unit. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
