U. Khan, R. A. Qureshi, S. Saeed and A. D. Bond

Abstract: The title compound, C₆H₁₂O₆, has been obtained from the ethanol fraction of the aerial part of the plant Incarvillea emodi (Wall. ex Royle) Chatterjee, after recrystallization from ethanol/ethyl acetate (60:40). Each molecule is involved in 12 hydrogen bonds, as has been found in other reported inositol crystal structures.
