13C NMR spectra of biologically active compounds XI. Diastereomeric effects in C-glycosides

The¹³C NMR spectra of epimeric C-D-glucopyranosides with alkyl, aryl, and alkynyl substituents have been studied. The diastereomeric effects of the chemical shifts have been determined and assignments have been made to the 1-and 1- stereochemical series on the basis of HH COSY and CH HET CORR two-dimensional NMR spectra. The diastereomeric effects observed for the C-3 and C-5 carbon atoms are proposed as characteristic parameters for establishing the stereochemistry at the C-1 carbon atom.Institute of Chemistry, Bashir Scientific Center, Urals Branch, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Ufa.
