2,4-di-C-methyl-alpha-L-arabinose monohydrate

Journal article

In aqueous solution, the title compound, C7H14O5·H2O, consists of a mixture of the open-chain furan-ose and pyran-ose forms; it crystallizes solely as the -pyran-ose form. The crystal structure exists as an extensively hydrogen-bonded network, with each mol-ecule acting as a donor and acceptor for seven hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration of this sugar is determined by the use of 2-C-methyl-d-ribono-1,4-lactone as the starting material. © International Union of Crystallography 2007.
