N‐(2‐Acetamido‐3,4,6‐tri‐O‐acetyl‐2‐deoxy‐α‐d‐galactopyranosyloxy)­succinimide

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₈H₂₄N₂O₁₁, a GalNAc mimic containing an α‐gly­cosyl­oxy­succin­imide linkage, has been determined. The pyran­ose ring geometry is an almost perfect ⁴C₁ chair. The torsion angle of the exocyclic hydroxy­methyl group is shown to be gauche–trans with respect to O1 and C4, respectively.
