The conformational preferences of two series of alkyl β-d-thioglucopyranosides in solution were investigated by NMR and CD. The rotamer populations of the hydroxymethyl group were found to depend on the structural nature of the S-aglycon. The population of the gt rotamer increased and that of the gg rotamer decreased as the alkyl group attached to the S atom increased in size. These rotamer populations have a linear correlation with the Taft’ steric parameters, the nS–σC–O∗exo-anomeric interaction may express these rotational preferences. Comparative analysis of the hydroxymethyl populations between alkyl O- and S-glucosides revealed identical or slightly higher gt and smaller gg populations for the latter compounds.
