Abstract:
A survey has been made of the spin-lattice relaxation-rates at 100 MHz of the ring protons of all eight of the d-pentopyranose tetra-acetates and of methyl α-d-xylopyranoside triacetate. Qualitative intercomparisons clearly demonstrate the diagnostic utility of these R1-values for configurational assignments.
