Abstract
Abstract Methyl 3,6-dideoxy-3- C -methoxycarbonyl-3- C -nitro-α- l - galacto -hexopyranoside ( 3 ) has been synthesised by periodate oxidation of methyl α- l -rhamnopyranoside followed by condensation with methyl nitroacetate, and its structure has been established on the basis of its analytical and spectral data, and by an X-ray diffraction study. Crystals of 3 are orthorhombic, space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 , with a = 10.009(3), b = 15.3610(3), c = 7.986(3) A, and Z = 4. Molecular-packing analysis in the atom—atom approach yields an equilibrium configuration in good agreement with the experimental findings.
