(4S,5R,6R)-Methyl 4-hydroxy-4,5-isopropylidenedioxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,3-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-carboxylate

Abstract

X-ray crystallography confirmed the structure of the title triazole, C11H15N3O5, formed from a single-step reaction of a sugar azide with a brominated ylid. The absolute configuration was determined by the use of d-ribose as the starting material. The six-membered ring is in a half-chair conformation. The crystal structure exists as chains of O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded moleclues running parallel to the b axis.
