D-Galactono-1,4-lactone: a case of wrong absolute configuration surviving three decades

P. Amador, H. Flores and S. Bernès

Abstract: The title compound, C₆H₁₀O₆, had been previously characterized by X-ray analysis but was reported with the wrong absolute configuration [Jeffrey, Rosenstein & Vlasse (1967). Acta Cryst. 22, 725-733]. This structure has now been redetermined at higher resolution and including precise positions for H atoms.
