Conformations around the glycosidic bond of a β-d-glycoside. The center C in the back is C-1. Ys are the lone pair orbitals of O-1. Of all possible conformations, only conformations A and E have one of their lone orbitals (Y) oriented perfectly antiperiplanar to the C1—H1 bond and are thus preferred in ozonolysis.
