    Abstract:
    The crystal and molecular structures of the antiviral compound 1-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxamide has been determined by the X-ray diffraction method. The space group is P2i/c, unit cell parameters a = 4,381, b = 18,679, c = 10,776 A, beta = 107,40 degrees, Z = 4. The structure was solved by the direct method and refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure to R = 4.9%. Two planar groups of atoms can be distinguished in the molecule. The first group involves the atoms of triazole ring, C6, and C1', the second one contains C5, C6, O6 and N6 atoms. The angle between these planes is 5.6 degrees. The carboxyamide group is rotated by 180 degrees in comparison with this group in ribavirin. That is why the intramolecular hydrogen bond C1'-H1'. 1...O6 can form. Torsion angle O5'-C5'-C4'-O4' is 73.9 degrees and it corresponds to gauche-rotamer. The conformation about O4'-C4' bond is trans. The C1'-C4' bond is approximately perpendicular to the aglycone.
