Structure of aldose condensation products with 2-hydroxyand 2-sulfanylbenzohydrazides

The structure of the condensation products of 2-hydroxy- and 2-sulfanylbenzohydrazides with a series of aldoses (L-arabinose, D-ribose, L-ramnose, D-galactose, D-glucose, D-mannose) was studied by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The condensation products of monosaccharides with 2-hydroxybenzohydrazide in DMSO-d ₆ solution exist as equilibrium mixtures of linear hydrazone and cyclic pyranose and furanose forms, the cyclic tautomers being represented by two stereoisomers (α- and β-anomers). The aldose condensation products with 2-sulfanylbenzohydrazide in the crystalline state have cyclic 1,3,4-benzothiadiazepine structure, while in DMSO-d ₆ solution they undergo complete or partial isomerization into cyclic pyranose tautomer.
