Extended zigzag conformation of 1-O-d-ga-glucopyranosyl-d-mannitol

Sugar Alcohols

“…GPM crystallizes from an aqueous solution as the dihydrate (crystal structure see [238]). The dihydrate releases water of crystallization at C. An anhydrous modification is formed that melts at 172 C. The specific rotation of GPM is ½a…”

Carbohydrates: Occurrence, Structures and Chemistry

“…Isomalt, also called ''palatinit'', consists of an approximate 1:1 mixture of a-D-glucosyl-(1!6)-D-sorbitol and a-D-glucosyl-(1!1)-D-mannitol (see Table 2). The latter forms a dihydrate, the two water molecules being attached to the mannitol portion in a hydrogen-bonded water bridge [94]. Isomalt is produced from sucrose through Protaminobacter rubrum-induced isomerization to isomaltulose ('palatinose') and subsequent catalytic high-pressure hydrogenation (!…”

Molecular recognition in polyols: the structure of L-mannonic acid hydrazide revealing a common packing motif in different acyclic sugars

“…In the crystal structure of 1-O-(a-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-mannitol dihydrate (Lindner & Lichtenthaler, 1981) both terminal O atoms lie in the plane of the carbon chain. This does not hold for the corresponding O atoms of the title compound.…”
