Abstract: The conformation of 1-OCH2CH2C8F16Cl-maltose in solution has been determined by a combination of 2D NMR and molecular mechanics methods.From a series of NOESY expcriments,one with τm=400 ms was selected for H-H distances calculation.The molecular mechanics calculation started with the sugar-rings in chairform,CH3 used instead of RF group.Conformer 1 is convinced as the stable one in polar solvents by energy minimization. Good agreement is observed between the calculated and expermental H-H distances of conformer 1.

Key words: 2D NMR, Molecular mechanics calculation, RF-maltose
