Abstract
Empirical force-field calculations have been applied to eight 1,6-anhydropyra-noses, the crystal structures$^{13{\sim}21}$ of which have been studied by single crystal X-ray or neutron diffraction analysis. The theoretical calculations reproduce closely the variations in conformation between $^1C_4$ and $E_0$, which are observed in the pyranose rings. The smaller conformational differences in the five-membered anhydro ring are not so well predicted. The calculated C-C bond lengths agree with those observed within 0.012${\AA}$ with one exception. The C-O bond lengths show a larger deviation, 0.027${\AA}$. The non-hydrogen atom valence angles agree within 1.9$^{\circ}$.
Empirical force-field method를 단결정 회절방법으로 구조가 연구된 여덟개의 1,6-anhydropyranose 분자구조$^{13{\sim}21}$에 적용하였다. 이론적 계산에서도 분자들간의 pyranose고리 conformation의 $^1C_4$와 $E_0$ 사이간의 차이는 실험치와 비슷하게 얻어졌다. Five-membered anhydro 고리의 분자들간의 작은 conformation 차이는 잘 예측되지 않았다. C-C결합 길이의 계산치는 실험치와 0.012${\AA}$내에서, C-O결합 길이는 0.027${\AA}$내에서, non-hydrogen atom의 결합각은 1.9$^{\circ}$이내에서 일치되고 있다
