3,4-Di-O-acetyl-2-azidodeoxy-1-O-nitro--L-fucose

D. C. McCutcheon, P. Norris and M. Zeller

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₀H₁₄N₄O₈, crystallizes with two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, in an arrangement stabilized by a range of non-classical C-HO hydrogen bonds. The crystals of the anomer were selectively grown from a mixture of both 1-O-nitrates. The compound exhibits the expected ¹C₄ chair conformation, with the azide group in an equatorial and the nitrate in an axial position.
