title: 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-benzoyl-4-nitro-phenyl-1-thio-α-d-mannopyran-oside-dichloro-methane-diethyl ether mixed solvate (1/0.53/0.38).
abstract: The title compound, C(40)H(31)NO(11)S·0.53CH(2)Cl(2)·0.38C(4)H(10)O, was synthesized in two steps from mannose penta-acetate and single crystals were grown by slow evaporation. The structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, confirming the α-configuration of the anomeric thioaryl substituent. The asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically distinct mol-ecules of the carbohydrate. The central pyran-ose rings of these are geometrically similar, but there are differences in the orientations of the benzoate substituents.
