A 2'-deoxycytidine long-linker click adduct forming two conformers in the asymmetric unit.

The title compound {systematic name: 4-amino-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-5-[6-(1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)hex-1-ynyl]pyrimidin-2(1H)-one}, C(24)H(28)N(6)O(4), shows two conformations in the crystalline state, viz. (I-1) and (I-2). The pyrimidine groups and side chains of the two conformers are almost superimposable, while the greatest differences between them are observed for the sugar groups. The N-glycosylic bonds of both conformers adopt similar anti conformations, with χ = -168.02 (12)° for conformer (I-1) and χ = -159.08 (12)° for conformer (I-2). The sugar residue of (I-1) shows an N-type (C3'-endo) conformation, with P = 33.1 (2)° and τ(m) = 29.5 (1)°, while the conformation of the 2'-deoxyribofuranosyl group of (I-2) is S-type (C3'-exo), with P = 204.5 (2)° and τ(m) = 33.8 (1)°. Both conformers participate in hydrogen-bond formation and exhibit identical patterns resulting in three-dimensional networks. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed with neighbouring molecules of different and identical conformations (N-H...N, N-H... O, O-H...N and O-H...O).
