1 After treatment with 10 molar excess amounts of H2O for 2 h, the aqueous glycerol was diluted with D2O to 500 mM and applied to the 1H-NMR spectroscopic measurement as shown in Figure 4 (500 MHz at 20.7 °C). 2 Populations (%) are calculated with Equation (1) (60, −60, 180 in degrees) and Equation (2) (65, −65, 180 in degrees) that are given in System of Equations in the preceding section of Materials and Methods.
