The title compound, C13H24O10 is the methyl glycoside of a structural element [alpha]-L-Fucp-(1[rightwards arrow] 3)-[alpha]-D-Galp making up two thirds of the repeating unit in the capsular polysaccharide of Klebsiella K63. The conformation of the title compound is described by the glycosidic torsion angles [varphi]H = 55 (1)° and [psi]H = -24 (1)°. The hydroxymethyl group in the galactose residue is present in the gauche-trans conformation. In the crystal, O-H...O hydrogen bonds connect the disaccharide units into chains along the a-axis direction and further hydrogen bonds cross-link the chains.
