Abstract: X-ray crystallography showed that the title compound, C₆H₁₂O₅, crystallizes in the -pyranose form with the six-membered ring in a chair conformation. The crystal structure exists as a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network of molecules with each molecule acting as a donor and aceptor for four hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration was determined by the use of L-fucose as starting material.
