d ‐glucopyranose undergoes mutarotation into a mixture of anomers, α‐ and β‐ d ‐glucopyranose, once it is dissolved in an aqueous solution. Distinguishing the two anomers by routine NMR methods are difficult because of their similarity and hence overlapped 1 H‐NMR spectra. In this paper, we demonstrate that the DOSY technique can be used to discern the two anomers of the d ‐glucopyranose. This is possible when taking advantage of a matrix effect of Ca 2+ , which separate the α‐ and β‐ anomers of d ‐glucopyranose by their differences in diffusion. The effect of Ca 2+ was further supported by DFT calculations. Our results demonstrate the power of DOSY NMR to gain a deeper understanding of the interactions between carbohydrates and metal ions.
