5-Methyluridine was crystallized from aqueous ethanol as the hemihydrate in the form of ortho-rhombic needles, space group P21212 with a= 14.026, b= 17.302, c= 4.861 A and four molecules per cell. The crystal structure has been determined by a three-dimensional, X-ray diffraction analysis. Intensity data were collected on photographic film and estimated visually. The structure was solved from the Patterson function with the help of Fourier techniques and packing considerations. Refine-ment by a full-matrix, least-squares method has led to a final R value of 0.075 for 1294 reflections and to estimated standard deviations in bond lengths for the non-hydrogen atoms between 0-006 and 0.007/~. The torsion angle describing the relative orientations of the sugar residue and the pyrimidine base is-29-4. Atom C (Y) of the sugar residue is displaced by about 0.60/~ from the least-squares plane through the other four ring atoms and lies on the same side of the plane as C (5'). This plane also makes an angle of 71.9 with the least-squares plane through the six ring atoms of the pyrimidine base. Of the twelve atoms within, or bonded to, the pyrimidine ring, only C (I') deviates significantly, by 0-083/~, from the least-squares plane through the six ring atoms.
