2,2′-Anhydro-1-(3′,5′-di-O-acetyl-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil, C13H14N2O7, was obtained by refluxing 2′,3′-O-(methoxymethylene)uridine in acetic anhydride. The structure exhibits a nearly perfect C4′-endo(4E) conformation. The best four-atom plane of the five-membered furanose ring is O—C—C—C, involving the C atoms of the fused five-membered oxazolidine ring, and the torsion angle is only −0.4 (2)°. The oxazolidine ring is essentially coplanar with the six-membered uracil ring [r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 (5) Å and dihedral angle = −3.2 (3)°]. The conformation at the exocyclic C—C bond isgauche–transwhich is stabilized by various C—H...π and C—O...π interactions.
将 2′,3′-O-(甲氧基亚甲基)尿苷在乙酸酐中回流得到 2,2′-脱水-1-(3′,5′-二-O-乙酰基-β-D-阿拉伯呋喃糖基)尿苷,C13H14N2O7。该结构呈现出近乎完美的 C4′-内多(4E)构象。五元呋喃糖环的最佳四原子平面为 O-C-C-C-C,涉及融合的五元恶唑烷环的 C 原子,扭转角仅为 -0.4 (2)°。恶唑烷环与六元尿嘧啶环基本共面[r.m.s. 偏差 = 0.012 (5) Å,二面角 = -3.2 (3)°]。外环 C-C 键的构象为高切反式,通过各种 C-H...π 和 C-O...π 相互作用而稳定。
