Structure of 5'-O-acetyl-2',3'-O-isopropylideneuridine, C14H18N2O7

M r = 326.3, monoclinic, P21, a --= 6.510 (2), b=8.432 (2), c= 15.114 (2),a, /~= 101.42 (3) ° , Z = 2, V= 813.15 A 3, D x = 1-33 Mg m -3, F(000) = 172, 2(Cu Ka) = 1.5418/~,, g(Cu Ka) = 0.906 mm -~, final R = 6.4% for 1924 observed counter reflections. The conformation about the glycosidic bond is syn [torsion angle C(6)-N(1)-C(1')-O(4')=-103.9(3)°]. The sugar pucker is C(2')-exo,C(3')-endo (3Tz). The conformation about the C(4')-C(5') bond is gauche-trans. An uncommon intermolecular hydrogen bond involving the ribose-ring oxygen O(1') and the base-nitrogen N(3) stabilizes the crystal structure.

Preparation of Hexafluorodisilane and Reactions of Hexafluorodisilane and Hexachlorodisilane with Sulfur Trioxide

Hexafluorodisilane has been prepared by the fluorination of hexachlorodisilane or hexabromodisilane by potassium fluoride in boiling acetonitrile, in yields approximating 45 and 60% respectively. Hexafluorodisilane has been characterised by infrared spectral data, vapour density measurements and analytical data. Both hexafluorodisilane and hexachlorodisilane are found to react with sulfur trioxide when heated to 400°C for 12 h. The products of reaction are silicon tetrafluoride, silica and sulfur dioxide with hexafluorodisilane while hexachlorodisilane in addition gives rise to hexachlorodisiloxane.
