Published: November 2010

The consequences of freezing the orientation of the oxygen's lone pair orbitals--which determines whether the anomeric effect is operative or not--were studied theoretically and experimentally in two oxobicyclo-[3.1.0]hexane nucleosides (1 and 2). The results showed significant differences in the properties of these molecules, which correlated with the magnitude of the n2 --> sigma * delocalization.
