Abstract:
3D structural information was obtained from mono-, di- and trisaccharide formamide and isocyanide derivatives by analysis of their X-ray crystal structure and NMR spectroscopy. The isocyanide anomeric effect was observed. Data mining of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) was performed and statistically confirmed our findings. Application of the glycoside isocyanides in the synthesis of novel glycoconjugates as drug-like scaffolds by MCR chemistry underscores the usefulness of the novel building blocks.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
