Abstract: The title compound, C₁₀H₁₃N₅O₄, can be classed as both a homo-C-nucleoside and an analogue of nucleosides possessing a 1,2,3-triazole ring instead of a furanose residue, some derivatives of which are potent antiviral agents. The mutual molecular arrangement of the five- and six-membered cyclic residues, as well as their disposition relative to the bridging -CH₂- group, has been analyzed. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds form an infinite three-dimensional molecular network.
