Description
Summary:In the title compound [systematic name 5-deoxy-5-fluoro-N-(pentyloxycarbonyl)cytidine], C15H22FN3O6, the pentyl chain is disordered over two positions with refined occupancies of 0.53 (5) and 0.47 (5). The furan ring assumes an envelope conformation. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains propagating along the b axis. The crystal packing exhibits electrostatic interactions between the 5-fluoropyrimidin-2(1H)-one fragments of neighbouring molecules as indicated by short O...C [2.875 (3) and 2.961 (3) Å] and F...C [2.886 (3) Å] contacts.
