title: Molecular and crystal structures of N-aryl-beta-D-glycopyranosylamines from mannose and galactose.
abstract: The molecular and crystal structures of 12 N-aryl-beta-D-glycopyranosylamines have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Six of these are mannose derivatives, the N-p-bromophenyl (1), N-p-tolyl (2), N-m-chlorophenyl (3), N-p-methoxyphenyl (4), N-o-chlorophenyl (5), and N-o-tolyl (6) derivatives that are formed by reaction with the corresponding substituted anilines. The remaining six are galactose derivatives, the N-phenyl (7), N-p-chlorophenyl (8), N-p-bromophenyl (9), N-p-iodophenyl (10), N-p-nitrophenyl (11) and N-p-tolyl (12), derivatives prepared similarly. Compounds 1-3 assume the same packing arrangement. Compounds 4, 5, and 6 assume unique packing arrangements, although that assumed by 4 is closely related to that assumed by 1-3. Compounds 7-11 assume the same packing arrangement; that assumed by 12 is closely related to that assumed by 7-11. That the same packing arrangements can be maintained in spite of substantial changes in the electronic and steric nature of the substituent on the aryl ring reflects the strength of the hydrogen bond network connecting the monosaccharide portions of the molecules in the solid state. A hydrogen bonding motif found in all six mannose structures is a mutual interaction between translationally related molecules involving O-3-H...O-5 and O-6-H...O-4 hydrogen bonds. The recurrence of this motif throughout this group of mannosylamines suggests that it is an especially favorable interaction that might be expected to occur also in related macromolecular systems.
