13C-NMR-Untersuchungen zur Strukturaufklärung von Polysacchariden und deren Methylderivaten

The ¹³C NMR spectra of some polysaccharides and their methyl derivatives have been analysed. The numbers and positions of the assigned ¹³C NMR signals give some information about the structure of the monomer unit and the positions of the glycosidic linkage but no information about the anomeric configuration. In this case the ¹J(C-1, H) coupling constants make it possible to identify the anomeric configuration, because the mean differences of the J values for the α- and β-anomers are 12 Hz (at least 5 Hz) with the higher values for the α-anomers.
