Methyl 3-O--L-fucopyranosyl -D-glucopyranoside tetrahydrate

L. Eriksson and G. Widmalm

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₃H₂₄O₁₀·4H₂O, is the methyl glycoside of a disaccharide structural element present in the backbone of the capsular polysaccharide from Klebsiella K1, which contains only three sugars and a substituent in the polysaccharide repeating unit. The conformation of the title disaccharide is described by the glycosidic torsion angles _H = 51.1 (1)° and _H = 25.8 (1)°. In the crystal, a number of O-HO hydrogen bonds link the methyl glycoside and water molecules, forming a three-dimensional network. One water molecule is disordered over two positions with occupancies of 0.748 (4) and 0.252 (4).
