title: Methyl 2-O-beta-L-fucopyranosyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside monohydrate: a synchrotron study.
abstract: The structure of the title compound, C(13)H(24)O(10).H(2)O, is stabilized by hydrogen bonds situated adjacent to the glycoside linkage. A direct intramolecular hydrogen bond is present between the fucopyranosyl ring O atom and a glucopyranoside OH group, and a bridging water molecule mediates a hydrogen-bond-based interaction from a fucopyranosyl OH group to the methoxy O atom. The conformation of the disaccharide is described by the glycosidic torsion angles phi(H) = -41 degrees and psi(H) = -2 degrees .
