The title solvated molecular salt, [MeGluVIm]I (MeGluVIm = 1-(methyl-α-d-gluco-pyran-osid-6-yl)-3-vinyl-imidazolium), or C12H19N2O5 +·I-·C3H7NO, was synthesized from methyl-α-d-6-iodo-gluco-pyran-oside and vinyl-imidazole in DMF. It crystallizes through precipitation from ethyl acetate solution directly after the reaction procedure. The crystal structure consists of an iodide anion and a [MeGluVIm] cation. Furthermore, the crystal structure contains one mol-ecule of DMF, which accepts two O-H⋯H hydrogen bonds from the OH groups of the gluco-pyran-oside.
Keywords: carbohydrate; crystal structure; imidazolium.
