2-Acetamido-N-benzyl-1,4-imino-1,2,4-tride-oxy-l-xylitol (N-benzyl-l-XYLNAc).

ABSTRACT: X-ray crystallography defines the relative configuration at the three-stereogenic centres in the title compound N-benzyl-l-XYLNAc, C(14)H(20)N(2)O(3). The five-membered pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation with the N atom lying out of the plane of the other four atoms. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H?O, N-H?O and O-H?N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along [100]. The carbonyl group O atom acts as an acceptor for a bifurcated hydrogen bond. The absolute configuration is determined by the use of l-glucuronolactone as the starting material for the synthesis.
