Crystal structure of 3-deoxy-3-nitromethyl-1,2;5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-allofuranose

Abstract

The title compound, C13H21NO7{systematic name: (3aR,5S,6R,6aR)-5-[(R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]-2,2-dimethyl-6-(nitromethyl)tetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole}, consists of a substituted 2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxolane skeleton. The furanose ringAadopts aoT4conformation. The fused dioxolane ringBand the substituent dioxolane ringCalso have twisted conformations. There are no strong hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure: only weak C—H...O contacts are present, which link the molecules to form a three-dimensional structure.
