Synthesis and Crystal Structure of N3-（Dimethyl- pyrimidine）-N4-（tri-O-acetyl-xylosyl） Thiourea

The crystal structure of the title compound （C18H24N4O7S, Mr = 440.47） was prepared by the condensation of 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl isothiocyanate with 4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-amine and structurally determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monochnic system, space group P2 1 with a = 7.5500（17）, b = 10.498（2）, c = 14.208（3） A, β = 99.929（4）°, V = 1109.2（4） A^3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.319 g/cm^3,μ = 0.191, F（000） = 464, Flack = 0.00（15）, R = 0.0684 and wR = 0.1103. In the crystal structure, the xylose ring adopts a ^4C1 chair conformation. Due to the hydrogen bonding interaction between N（4）-H（4A） and N（1）, the pyrimidine ring is well positioned.
