Conformational disorder in the crystal structure of methyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)–2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (methyl β-chitobioside) methanol monosolvate

Methyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (methyl β-chitobioside), (IV), crystallizes from aqueous methanol at room temperature to give a structure (C₁₇H₃₀N₂O₂₂·CH₃OH) containing conformational disorder in the exocyclic hydroxymethyl group of one of its βGlcNAc residues. As observed in other X-ray structures of disaccharides containing β-(1→4) O-glycosidic linkages, inter-residue hydrogen bonding between O3H of the βGlcNAc bearing the OCH₃ aglycone and O5 of the adjacent βGlcNAc is observed based on the 2.79 Å internuclear distance between the O atoms. The structure of (IV) was compared to that determined previously for 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (β-chitobiose), (III). The O-glycosidic linkage torsion angles, phi (ϕ) and psi (ψ), in (III) and (IV) differ by 6–8°. The N-acetyl side chain conformation in (III) and (IV) shows some context dependence, with the C1—C2—N—C_car torsion angle 10–15° smaller for the βGlcNAc residue involved in the internal O-glycosidic linkage. In (IV), conformational disorder is observed in the exocyclic hydroxymethyl (–CH₂OH) group in the βGlcNAc residue bearing the OCH₃ aglycone, and a fitting of the electron density indicates an approximate 50:50 distribution of the gauche–gauche (gg) and gauche–trans (gt) conformers in the lattice. Similar behavior is not observed in (III), presumably due to the different packing structure in the vicinity of the –CH₂OH substituent that affects its ability to hydrogen bond to proximal donors/acceptors. Unlike (IV), a re-examination of the previously reported electron density of (III) revealed conformational disorder in the N-acetyl side chain attached to the reducing-end βGlcNAc residue caused by rotation about the C2—N bond.

Keywords: crystal structure; methyl β-chitobioside; hydrogen bonding; conformational analysis.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refined as a 2-component inversion twin

Notes: (a) O-glycosidic torsion angles ϕ', ϕ and ψ, which specify the rotational properties of the C1—O1, C1'—O1' and O1'—C4 bonds, respectively, in (II)–(IV) can be defined by three different vicinal pathways, which are distinguished by the a–c subscripts. (b) See Fig. 1 for the definitions of residues A and B in (II)–(IV). For simplicity, C_car and C_Me are used in place of the N-acetyl side-chain atom labeling in (IV) shown in Fig. 2. (c) (V_A) and (V_B) refer to the two molecules of (V) observed in the reported crystal structure (Hu et al., 2011). (d) Data for (II), (III) and (V) were taken from Mo & Jensen (1978), Mo (1979), and Hu et al. (2011), respectively. (e) This torsion angle is disorderd in the crystal; approximately equal populations of gg and gt. (f) Could not be determined due to disorder of the O5—C5—C6—O6 torsion angle.
