A solvate of 5‐fluorouracil with dimethylformamide (DMF), 2C 4 H 3 FN 2 O 2 ·C 3 H 7 NO, is reported. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2 1 / n , with two molecules of 5‐fluorouracil and one molecule of DMF in the asymmetric unit. This solvate exhibits a sheet structure, with the DMF molecules present on both surfaces of the sheet and 5‐fluorouracil molecules within the sheath of DMF molecules.
