Abstract: | The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of a number of acetylated methyl glycosides, from mono-to tetra-O-acetates, have been obtained. The signs of the CD maxima of the n-* transitions (210–215 nm) of the O-acetate groups have been predicted, and these predictions coincide with the figures obtained experimentally.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Far Eastern Scientific Center, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.
