Conformational Studies of Methyl 3-O-Methyl-α-d-arabinofuranoside: An Approach for Studying the Conformation of Furanose Rings
摘要:
A computational method for probing furanose conformation has been developed using a methylated monosaccharide derivative 1. First, a large library of conformers was generated by a systematic pseudo Monte Carlo search followed by optimization with the AMBER molecular mechanics force field. A subset of these conformers was then subjected to ab initio and density functional theory calculations in both the gas and aqueous phases. These calculations indicate that entropic contributions to the Gibbs free energy are important determinants of the Boltzmann distribution for the conformational preferences of 1 in the gas phase. The results obtained at each level of theory are discussed and compared with the experimentally determined conformer distribution from NMR studies in aqueous solution. In addition, the ability of each level of theory to reproduce the experimentally measured H-1-H-1 coupling constants in 1 is discussed. Empirical Karplus equations and density functional theory methods were used to determine average (3)J(H1,H2), (3)J(H2,H3), and (3) J(H3,H4) for each level of theory. On the basis of this comparison, consideration of solvation with the MN-GSM model provided good agreement with the experimental data.
