The crystal structure of 2,3,4,6-tetra-<i>O</i>-acetyl-3,4-dinitrophenyl-<i>β</i>-<scp>d</scp>-glucopyranoside*

The crystal structure of the title compound (1) was determined (space group P212121, a = 5.654(3), b = 16.700(7), c = 25.905(10) Å, Z = 4) and refined to R 0.053 for 2170 unique observed reflections. The introduction of the four acetal groups has very little effect on the geometry at the acetal centre (cf. the parent glucoside, see preceding paper).
