Abstract

An experimental X-ray powder diffraction pattern was produced and analyzed for alpha-polymorphic tegafur, also called Ftorafur (an antineoplastic agent). The indexed data matched the powder patterns in the ICDD PDF-4/Organics database calculated from the reported single-crystal X-ray diffraction data in the Cambridge Structural Database. Alpha tegafur has a triclinic crystal system, with reduced cell parameters of a=16.720(6) Å, b=9.021(5) Å, c=5.995(3) Å, α=93.66(4)°, β=93.15(8)°, γ=100.14(4)°. There are four formula units contained in one unit cell. The cell volume and space group were determined to be 886.27 Å3 and P-1, respectively.
