DFT study:
- DFT optimized geometries and computed enthalpies  were used to calculate the
thermodynamics of the isodesmic reactions
between dimethyl carbonate and D-mannose based monomer 1 (1-O-methyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-4,6-O-carbonate-α-ᴅ-mannopyranose) or D-glucose counterpart monomer 1G (from Mikami et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 6826), so as to evaluate the ring-strains of the 2 monomers.
