The Anomeric Configuration of Sialic Acid

The anomeric configuration of NeuSAc or NeuSGc can usually be inferred from the chemical shifts of the H3eq and H4 resonances. Analysis of a series of model 

Chemical shift values are given for solutions in 2H2O at 25 °C and at p H 7. Values have to be modified (see Table 2) if C4 and/or Cl of the sialic acid bear a substituent (e.g., an O-
