Interpretation of the IR spectrum of methyl-β-D-glucopyranoside based on the theoretical calculation of frequencies and intensities of normal vibrations

For the first time the detailed interpretation of the IR spectrum of methyl-β-D-glucopyranoside is presented based on the complete calculation of frequencies of normal vibrations and absolute intensities of IR absorption bands and on their comparison with the corresponding experimental values. The characteristic spectral features of oxymethyl substitution for the hydroxyl group are detected. The regularities in the formation of the complex band structure in a frequency range from 1150 cm^?1 to 950 cm^?1 is determined.
