Abstract: Chiroptical properties of all tetruloses, 2-pentuloses, D-3-pentulose and 4-deoxy-L-pentulose were investigated by means of circular dichroism. The compounds revealed overlapping ellipticity curves of opposite sign in the n→л* transition region of the carbonyl group. The Octant Rule was employed to interpret signs of the Cotton effect. The existence of two bands is rationalized by the equilibrium of two dominating rotamers.
