Abstract: Addition of methyl lithium to D-erythrono-1,4-lactone followed by acid deprotection was shown, by X-ray crystallography, to give 1-deoxy-D-arabinitol, C5H12O4, rather than 1-deoxy-D-ribitol as the major product. The crystal structure exists as hydrogen-bonded chains of molecules running parallel to the c axis which are further linked together by hydrogen bonds. Each molecule is a donor and an acceptor for four hydrogen bonds.
