Abstract
The branched-chain pentose DL-apiose has been synthesized in good yield by a new and simple chemical method that can be adapted to prepare (1-13C)-, (2-13C)-, (1-2H)- and/or (2-2H)-enriched derivatives. N.m.r. spectra (1H- and 13C-) have been interpreted with the aid of selective (13C)- and (2H)-enrichment, and 2D and 13C[13C]-n.m.r. spectra. The solution composition of DL-(1-13C)apiose in 2H2O, determined by 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy, has been found to differ from that determined previously by 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy. Several 13C-1H and 13C-13C couplings have been measured and interpreted in terms of apiofuranose ring conformation. Ring-opening rate-constants of the four apiofuranoses [3-C-(hydroxymethyl)-alpha- and -beta-D-erythrofuranose, and 3-C-(hydroxymethyl)-alpha- and -beta-L-threofuranose] have been determined by 13C-saturation-transfer n.m.r. spectroscopy, and compared to those obtained previously for the structurally related tetrofuranoses.
