    Abstract:
    The crystal structure of methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-O-p-bromobenzenesulphonyl-3-cyano-3-deoxy-α-D-altropyranoside (I) has been determined by three-dimensional X-ray analysis. The crystals are triclinic, space group P1, with Z = 1, a = 6.05, b = 7.39, and c = 12.62 Å, and α = 105.6, β = 97.4, and y = 92.3°. The atomic parameters were determined by Fourier and least-squares calculations. The final value of R over 181 0 independent reflexions is 12.2%. The pyranose ring is in a slightly flattened chair form and the O(methyl). C(cyano) separation is 3.03 Å. © Royal Society of Chemistry.
