The title carbohydrate, C13H22O6, is a derivative of d-glycose, in which the furanosidic and isopropylidene rings are in twisted conformations. The mean plane of the furanosidic ring makes a dihedral angle of 70.32 (18)° with the mean plane of the fused isopropylidene ring. The methyl groups in the other isopropylidene ring are disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.74 (6):0.26 (6). In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains with graph-set notation C(5) along [100]. Weak C—H⋯O interactions also occur.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
