Abstract: | In the title regioisomeric nucleosides, alternatively called 1‐(2‐deoxy‐β‐d ‐erythro‐furanosyl)‐1H‐pyrazolo3,4‐d]pyrimidine, C10H12N4O3, (II), and 2‐(2‐deoxy‐β‐d ‐erythro‐furanosyl)‐2H‐pyrazolo3,4‐d]pyrimidine, C10H12N4O3, (III), the conformations of the glycosylic bonds are anti ?100.4 (2)° for (II) and 15.0 (2)° for (III)]. Both nucleosides adopt an S‐type sugar pucker, which is C2′‐endo‐C3′‐exo (2T3) for (II) and 3′‐exo (between 3E and 4T3) for (III). |
