Crystal structure of 8-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-2'-de-oxy-adenosine hemihydrate.

ABSTRACT: In the asymmetric unit, equalling the unit cell (triclinic, P1, Z = 1), two mol-ecules of the title compound, 8-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-d-2'-de-oxy-adenosine, C₁₇H₁₉N₅O₃, are present, with distinct conformations of the two sugar moieties, together with one solvent water mol-ecule. All three ribose O atoms are involved in hydrogen bonding and the crystal packing is largely determined by hydrogen-bonding or hydrogen-heteroatom inter-actions (O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N, N-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N) with one independent mol-ecule directly linked to four neighbouring mol-ecules and the other mol-ecule directly linked to six neighbouring mol-ecules. The two independent mol-ecules of the asymmetric unit display three weak intra-molecular C-H-to-heteroatom contact
