It is reported that the replacement of the 4- and 6-O-benzyl ethers in 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α,β-mannopyranose by a 4,6-O-benzylidene acetal results in an increased population of the β-anomer at equilibrium in CDCl3 solution. The phenomenon is considered to arise from the lower steric bulk of the benzylidene acetal that, through diminished buttressing interactions, reduces steric interactions normally present in the β-anomer.
