Abstract

C12H20O10,M r=324.28, orthorhombic,P212121,a=9.4476(8),b=10.2247(8),c=13.5827(11) Å,V=1312.07(18) Å3,Z=4,D x=1.642 g cm−3, Mo radiation (λ=0.71073 Å)μ=1.4 cm−1,F(000)=688,T=295 K, finalR=0.041 for 1089 reflections withI≥2.5σa(I). The molecule consists of aβ-d-fructopyranose and a α-d-fructofuranose ring which are linked by a 1,4-dioxane ring. The pyranose ring and the dioxane ring both have a chair conformation, and the furanose ring has an envelope conformation. All six hydroxyl groups act as donors in intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Each molecule is hydrogen-bonded to eight neighbor molecules by fourteen hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional framework. The hydrogen bonds of varying geometry give rise to five sharp hydroxyl stretch vibrations in the infrared spectrum. In diheterolevulosan IV the central dioxane ring is a boat. Molecular mechanics calculations on diheterolevulosan II and IV having different boat and chair conformations of the dioxane ring show that the lowest energy conformations correspond to the conformations observed in the crystal structure. For comparison the calculations also have been applied to 1,4-dioxane having boat and chair conformations.
