title: Methyl beta-D-fructopyranoside.
abstract: In methyl beta-D-fructopyranoside, C(7)H(14)O(6), the thermodynamically most stable methyl glycoside of the ketose D-fructose, the pyranose ring is close to being an ideal (2)C(5) chair. The compound forms bilayers involving a complex hydrogen-bonding pattern of five independent hydrogen bonds. Graph-set analysis was applied to distinguish the hydrogen-bond patterns at unary and higher level graph sets.
