3,4-Dicyanophenyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-d-glucopyranoside

Abstract

The title compound, C22H22N2O10, was prepared by the glycosidation method through nitrite displacement on substituted nitrophthalonitrile. The molecule contains a benzene ring, two nitrile groups and an acetyl-protected d-glucose fragment which adopts a chair conformation. The absolute configuration was determined by the use of d-glucose as starting material. All substituents of the protected sugar are in equatorial positions, with the exclusive presence of the α-anomer. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen-bonding interactions.
