RUIZ-PI~REZ, RODRiGUEZ, MARTIN, PI~REZ, MORALES AND RAVELO 1509 located on a difference electron-density map and the remainder placed in calculated positions (Fayos & Martinez-Ripoll, 1980). A convenient weighting scheme of type w = w, x w2 with W 1 = k/(a + blFol) 2 and w2 = 1/{c + d[(sin0)/a] + e[(sin0)/a]2}, was used in order to obtain flat dependence in (w × A2F) vs (Fo} and vs ((sin0)/a) (Martinez-Ripoll & Cano, 1980). A final weighted anisotropic full-matrix refinement (fixed isotropic contribution for H atoms) gave the discrepancy indices: R = 0.069 and wR = 0-077. 136 parameters, S = 1-3, maximum electron density in final difference map 0.20 e A-3, maximum A/tr 0.003. Scattering factors from International Tables for X-ray Crystallography (1974); geometrical calculations using PA RST (Nardelli, 1983).Discussion. Final positional parameters are reported in Table 1.* The molecular structure of the title compound including the atom-numbering scheme is illustrated in Fig. 1. Bond distances, bond angles and relevant torsion angles are shown in Table 2.The six-membered ring C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 is in a distorted chair conformation flattened at C3. Atoms C3 and C6 are displaced by -0.440 (3) ~, z -~; (n) -x, y -~, -z + ~.bisecting the bond between the two out-of-plane atoms (C5--C6) (see Table 2). Fig. 2 gives a representation of the hydrogenbonding scheme around the T along the a axis; donor-acceptor distances are listed in Table 3 Io>2tr(Io)]. The furanose ring is in the twist form, the six-membered silyl ring is in a flattened chair conformation and the glycosidic bond conformation is anti. (II)
