Abstract: The title nucleoside, C₁₃H₁₆N₂O₅, was prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallographic techniques. The crystal structure determination reveals that the furanose ring adopts a C2'-endo conformation, while the orientation of the benzimidazole moiety with respect to the sugar moiety is mid-anti. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O-HO and N-HO hydrogen bonds.
