RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Furanosic forms of sugars: conformational equilibrium of methyl beta-D-ribofuranoside A1 Écija, Patricia A1 Uriarte, Iciar A1 Spada, Lorenzo A1 Davis, Benjamin A1 Caminati, Walther A1 Basterretxea, Francisco José A1 Lesarri Gómez, Alberto Eugenio A1 Cocinero, Alberto K1 Química AB The investigation of an isolated ribofuranose unit in the gas phasereveals the intrinsic conformational landscape of the biologicallyactive sugar form.We report the rotational spectra of two conformersof methyl b-D-ribofuranoside in a supersonic jet expansion. Bothconformers adopt a near twisted (3T2) ring conformation with themethoxy and hydroxymethyl substituents involved in various intramolecularhydrogen bonds.
