The title compound, C6H12O6, a C-3 position epimer of fructose, was crystallized from an aqueous solution of equimolar mixture of D- and L-psicose (1,3,4,5,6-penta­hydroxy­hexan-2-one, ribo-2-hexulose, allulose), and it was confirmed that D-psicose (or L-psicose) formed β-pyran­ose with a 2C5 (or 5C2) conformation. In the crystal, an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond between the hy­droxy groups at the C-3 and C-2 positions connects homochiral mol­ecules into a column along the b axis. The columns are linked by other O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between D- and L-psicose mol­ecules, forming a three-dimensional network. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond is also observed. The cell volume of racemic β-D,L-psicose [763.21 (6) Å3] is almost the same as that of chiral β-D-psicose [753.06 Å3].

In the crystal of the title compound, the D- and L-molecules are located alternatively in a-c plane, so that the main hydrogen bonding networks can be created between D- and L-molecules. An additional hydrogen bonding between two D-molecules (and two L-molecules) are observed along to the b-axis (O3—H3A···O2iii; Table 1). The molecular structure of D-psicose (or L-psicose) is β-pyranose form with a 2C5 (or 5C2) conformation. Orientations of two OH groups at C-3 and C-5 positions are axial, therefore an intramolecular hydrogen bonding can be observed (O3—H3A···O5; 2.36 Å) [hereafter, (O3···O5)]. The intramolecular hydrogen bonding unit (O3···O5) shown in the racemic D,L-crystal has also observed in a chiral D-crystal (Fukada et al., 2010). In the chiral one, one-dimensional hydrogen bonding chain, that is (O3···O5) -> (O3···O5) -> (O3···O5) ->···, can be observed by connecting through an another hydrogen bonding between two D-molecule units (O5—H5···O3). On the other hand in the case of the racemic one, the L-molecule (or D-molecule) plays as a role of a bridging between two adjacent intramolecular hydrogen bonding in D-molecule (or L-molecule) (O3···O5) units, that is (D O3···O5) -> (L O1) -> (D O3···O5) -> (L O1) -> ··· (or, (L O3···O5) -> (D O1) -> (L O3···O5) -> (D O1) -> ···). Concerning the intermolecular hydrogen bonding, there are four kinds of bondings are also observed between D- and L- psicose molecules (O1—H1A···O3 (a-axis), O2—H2A···O4, O4—H4A···O6 (a-axis), and O5—H5A···O1 (c-axis),). The cell volume of racemic β-D,L-psicose [763.21 (6) Å3 at r.t.] is almost the same as that of chiral β-D-psicose [753.06 Å3 at r.t.].

Experimental top

D-Psicose was prepared from D-fructose by enzymatic epimerization using D-tagatose 3-epimerase (Itoh et al., 1995; Takeshita et al., 2000). L-Psicose was prepared from allitol by microbial oxidation using Gluconobacter frateurii IFO 3254 (Takeshita et al., 1996). D-Psicose and L-psicose were mixed in equal amount and dissolved in hot water to give 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80 wt% solution. And these samples were kept at 10, 20, and 30 °C. After one day, small crystals were obtained in 65, 70, 75, and 80 wt% solution at 10, 20, and 30 °C.

Refinement top

H atoms bounded to methine-type C (H3B, H4B, H5B) were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms bounded to methylene-type C (H1B, H1C, H6A, H6B) were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms bounded to O (H1A, H2A, H3A, H4A, H5A) were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with O—H = 0.82 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O), allowing for free rotation of the OH groups.

Refinement. Refinement was performed using all reflections. The weighted R-factor (wR) and goodness of fit (S) are based on F2. R-factor (gt) are based on F. The threshold expression of F2 > 2.0 σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor (gt).
