The potential energy surface of methyl beta-D-arabinofuranoside (3) has been studied by ab initio molecular orbital (HF/6-31G*) and density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31G*) calculations via minimization of the 10 possible envelope conformers. The partial potential energy surface identified that the global minimum and lowest energy northern conformer was E-2. In the HF calculations, E-2 was the most stable southern conformer, while the density functional theory methods identified E-4 as the local minimum in this hemisphere. Additional calculations at higher levels of theory showed that the B3LYP-derived energies of many of the envelope conformers of 3 are dependent upon the basis set used. It has also been demonstrated that B3LYP/G-31+G**//B3LYP/6-31G* single point energies are essentially the same as those obtained from full geometry optimizations at the B3LYP/6-31+G** level. The northern and southern minima of the B3LYP/6-31+G** surface are, respectively, the E-2 and E-2 conformers. The B3LYP/6-31G* geometries were used to study the relationship between ring conformation and various structural parameters including bond angles, dihedral angles, bond lengths, and interatomic distances.
