Abstract: | ![]() In 2‐(2‐deoxy‐β‐d ‐erythro‐pentofuranosyl)‐1,2,4‐triazine‐3,5(2H,4H)‐dione (6‐aza‐2′‐deoxyuridine), C8H11N3O5, (I), the conformation of the glycosylic bond is between anti and high‐anti [χ = −94.0 (3)°], whereas the derivative 2‐(2‐deoxy‐β‐d ‐erythro‐pentofuranosyl)‐N4‐(2‐methoxybenzoyl)‐1,2,4‐triazine‐3,5(2H,4H)‐dione (N3‐anisoyl‐6‐aza‐2′‐deoxyuridine), C16H17N3O7, (II), displays a high‐anti conformation [χ = −86.4 (3)°]. The furanosyl moiety in (I) adopts the S‐type sugar pucker (2T3), with P = 188.1 (2)° and τm = 40.3 (2)°, while the sugar pucker in (II) is N (3T4), with P = 36.1 (3)° and τm = 33.5 (2)°. The crystal structures of (I) and (II) are stabilized by intermolecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O interactions. |
