Sugar ring conformations of a number of 2'- and 3'-substituted 2',3'-dieoxyribonudeosides were determined in (H2O)-H-2 by H-1 NMR spectroscopy. First-order rate constants for the cleavage of their N-glycosidic bond in aqueous acid were measured. The dependence of sugar ring conformation and hydrolytic stability on the polar nature of the 2'/3'-substitutent is discussed.
