The 1-beta-D-ribofruanosyl, 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl), and 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl derivatives (1a-c) of uracil-6-carboxaldehyde have been prepared for physicochemical analysis. The NMR-determined hydration and structural equilibria of 1a-c in both D2O and (CD3)2SO solution are compared, and the single-crystal X-ray structure of 1a is presented. Due to the high degree of electrophilic nature of their aldehyde moiety, all three nucleosides exhibit a strong ProclivitY toward existing as cyclic hemiacetal structures in solution; one such structure was found to be the sole constituent in the solid state for 1a. Using a [formyl-C-13]-labeled derivative of a synthetic precursor to 1a, the 1DELTAC-13(O-18) shielding isotope shift effects produced upon hydrate formation were determined at a +/- 1 ppb level, giving reference values of biomechanistic importance.
