A series of ether-, substituted alkyl-, or aryl-linked disaccharide derivatives have been synthesized in relatively good yield and characterized using different spectral techniques including single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). β-Anomeric forms of sugar moiety in these derivatives were identified from 1H NMR studies. The existence of inter-and intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions were identified from single-crystal XRD studies.
