5-Fluorouracil-dimethylformamide (2/1)

A. T. Hulme and D. A. Tocher

Abstract: A solvate of 5-fluorouracil with dimethylformamide (DMF), 2C₄H₃FN₂O₂·C₃H₇NO, is reported. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, with two molecules of 5-fluorouracil and one molecule of DMF in the asymmetric unit. This solvate exhibits a sheet structure, with the DMF molecules present on both surfaces of the sheet and 5-fluorouracil molecules within the sheath of DMF molecules.
