An ^1H-NMR database of sugars was made on a Macintosh computer by using
a database software, File Maker pro developed by Claris Co. This database
aims to assist individual carbohydrate chemists to file the necessary NMR
data with references and to make most use of them for spectral identification
of sugars of unknown structure. To achieve the above aims, several ideas
are introduced: output data on screen or printer with several layouts such
as data-card in which NMR data are combined with chemical structure, sequential
data-cards of three/six records on a single screen/page, data-table showing the
results of statistical calculations, etc. NMR data searched or sorted can be
easily exported to other application softwares, for instance, to HNMR.BAS
which has been developed by the author and runs on the MS-DOS system to display
NMR line-spectra of carbohydrates.
