A simple method of calculating the molecular rotations of the sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus analogues of α-D-glycopyranoses having different substituents at the anomeric carbon atom

Abstract

The values of m and I of equation (1) for several series of α-D-glycopyranoses having different substituents at the anomeric carbon atom have been obtained earlier. From these values, the molecular rotations of the corresponding sugars containing a sulfur, nitrogen, or phosphorus atom in the ring have been calculated and found to agree satisfactorily with the corresponding literature values.
