(Received 25 June 2008; accepted 27 June 2008; online 5 July 2008)

X-ray crystallography showed that the title compound, C6H12O5, crystallizes in the α-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.

Supporting information


Comment top

The range of rare sugars that are now readily available has increased in recent years due to both chemical (Beadle et al., 1992) and biotechnological (Izumori, 2006; Izumori, 2002; Granstrom et al., 2004) advances. The methodology developed by Izumori et al. for the interconversion of tetroses, pentoses and hexoses by enzymatic oxidation, inversion at C3 with a single epimerase, and reduction to the aldose has been seen to be generally applicable for the 1-deoxy ketohexoses (Yoshihara et al., 2008) in large amounts in water.

The Izumoring method is demonstrated here with the synthesis of 6-deoxy-L-talose 3 from L-fucose 1(Fig. 1) by a series of isomerizations. Firstly, using D-arabinose isomerase, L-fucose was isomerized to 6-deoxy-L-tagatose 2 and then using L-rhamnose isomerase this was further isomerized to give 6-deoxy-L-talose 3.

6-Deoxy-L-talose crystallizes solely in the α-pyranose form (Fig. 2). The absolute configuration was determined from the starting material. The crystal exists as an hydrogen bonded network with each molecule acting as a donor and acceptor for 4 hydrogen bonds. Non-conventional hydrogen bonds have been ignored.

Experimental top

The title compound was recrystallized from methanol: m.p. 120–123°C; [α]D20 -18.6 (c, 0.94 in H2O).

Refinement top

In the absence of significant anomalous scattering, Friedel pairs were merged and the absolute configuration was assigned from the starting material.

The H atoms were all located in a difference map, but those attached to carbon atoms were repositioned geometrically. The H atoms were initially refined with soft restraints on the bond lengths and angles to regularize their geometry (C—H in the range 0.93–0.98, O—H = 0.82 Å) and Uiso(H) (in the range 1.2–1.5 times Ueq of the parent atom), after which the positions were refined with riding constraints.
