- DFT optimized geometries and computed free enthalpies were used to calculate the
thermodynamics of the ring-opening of D-mannose based monomer 1 (1-O-methyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-4,6-O-carbonate-α-ᴅ-mannopyranose) or D-glucose counterpart monomer 1G (from Mikami et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 6826), by methanol or iso-propanol, to evaluate the regioselectivity of the reactions.
