title: 2,3,4-Triacet-oxy-1-[5-(1,2,3,4-tetra-acetoxy-butyl)pyrazin-2-yl]butyl acetate.
abstract: The title compound, C(28)H(36)N(2)O(16), was obtained unintentionally in an attempt to synthesize 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-de-oxy-d-mannopyran-ose. The crystal packing utilizes methyl-acet-oxy C-H⋯O and meth-yl-pyrazine C-H⋯N hydrogen bonding.
