Pentafluorophenyl (3R,4R,5R)-5-{[(3R,4R,5R)-5-azidomethyl-3,4-dimethoxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrofuran-3-carbonylamino]methyl}-3,4-dimethoxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylate

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C22H25F5N4O9, an important inter­mediate in the synthesis of novel biopolymers containing branched carbon chains, establishes the relative stereochemistry at all six chiral centres of the dipeptide. The structure may indicate a predisposition to the organization of secondary structure by novel dipeptide isosteres. An inter­molecular hydrogen bond between the NH group and one of the N atoms of the azide group contributes to the stabilization of the packing.
